Rescuing My Time

This data is pretty typical; in fact it is actually not bad considering how many meetings I was a part of this last week.

Slack is almost always the winner, which is a little bit sad. I am usually ok about email; my recent strategy is to not open it when I first arrive at the office (although I will have checked it on my phone before leaving the house). Then I open it after I either complete an important work task; or when I’m doing Pomodoro, as the 2nd or 3rd pomodoro of the day. Last week I installed Quitter by Marco Arment and assigned email to quit after 15 minutes of inactivity. That also helps with email interruptions. (I practice inbox zero, natch; but that is a different post.)
