I guess yesterday set the stage for my next theme: systems. So I will approach this systematically, and hopefully start posting at the same time of the day, as my brother recommends.
This is just a tip which I have applied successfully at times, and neglected other times. Basically when you're done with something, get rid of it. The two key areas of application for this are snail mail and e-mail.
For snail mail, I read here (written 2 years ago) how to open junk mail over the trash can, so its gone immediately and permanently, eliminating wasted time: the 2 seconds I'd spend moving it on my desk or looking at it one last time before throwing it away later…
For e-mail, I'm attampting to apply the same idea, by deleting whatever I'm not going to act on, as well as deleting after I act on it (whether replying, or doing what the email says to do)
There's lots more from Productivith501, but I just wanted to share those two thoughts, quickly, on systematic deletion to simplify life, and of course, to help redeem the time! Plus, I think it's cool to remember that is how God deals with our sins when we confess them to Him!
Peace,
Adam
