【A5】A.MIND YOURSELF THAT DON"T BE A SLAVE TO EMAIL.B.YOU SHOULD PLAN YOUR DAY AT THE START OF EACH DAY.C.GETTING YOUR OFFICE ORGANIZED WILL IMPROVE YOUR WORKING EFFICIENCY.D.TAKING ADVANTAGE OF SOME RIGHT SOFTWARE COULD HELP YOU A LOT.E.YOU CAN DELEGATE TASKS TO OTHERS INSTEAD OF DOING THEM YOURSELF. DON"T SPEND HALF YOUR WORK DAY ON FACEBOOK AND THEN BRAG ABOUT IT IF YOU SPEND TOO MUCH TIME WORKING IN YOUR BUSINESS, YOU WON"T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO WORK ON YOUR BUSINESS.THAT IS, IF ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS CREATE A JOB FOR YOURSELF, THAT"S A MISTAKE.IT IS FAR BETTER, AND SMARTER, TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FREE YOURSELF UP TO BE MORE ENTREPRENEUR, LESS WORKER.HERE"S HOW: 【A1】______ BEFORE THE CRAZINESS OF THE DAY SETS IN, BEGIN BY LOOKING AT WHAT IS COMING UP AND THEN PRIORITIZE IT.MAKE A LIST AND TRY TO FOLLOW IT.THAT WAY, INSTEAD OF EVENTS CONTROLLING YOU, YOU CONTROL THEM.YOU DON"T WANT TO SPEND YOUR DAYS PUTTING OUT FIRES. IF YOU HAVE A DAY PLANNER, USE IT.IF YOU USE OUTLOOK OR A BLACKBERRY INSTEAD, BE SURE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR BUILT-IN ORGANIZATIONAL TOOLS. 【A2】______ THERE ARE SO MANY TIME-SAVING PRODUCTIVITY SOFTWARE TOOLS OUT THERE THAT IT IS A MISTAKE NOT TO USE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM.SOFTWARE.SOFTWARE MAKERS SPEND AN INORDINATE A-MOUNT OF EFFORT ON R-D, LEARNING WHAT IT IS WE SMALL BUSINESS PEOPLE NEED.THEY THEN CREATE POWERFUL SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS DESIGNED TO FILL THOSE NEEDS. BUY THEM.LEARN THEM.USE THEM. THE MISTAKE MANY OF US MAKE IS THAT WE GET THIS GREAT SOFTWARE AND NEVER TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN EVERYTHING IT CAN DO FOR US.A DAY OF TRAINING CAN MAKE YOU FAR MORE ORGANIZED AND EFFECTIVE.CHECK OUT PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE, OR CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP, ETC THEY CAN REALLY HELP. 【A3】______ WHEN I READ THAT THE AUTHOR OF THE 4-HOUR WORK SPENT A LITTLE MORE THAN AN HOUR A WEEK ON E-MAIL I WAS INCREDIBLY JEALOUS.FEW OF US HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO STOP THE ONSLAUGHT OF EMAIL TO THAT DEGREE, BUT EVEN SO, IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE SMARTER ABOUT EMAIL: DESIGNATE THE AMOUNT OF TIME A DAY YOU WANT TO SPEND DOING EMAIL AND STICK TO IT. SET ASIDE TIME FOR EMAIL ONCE OR TWICE A DAY, AND AGAIN, STICK TO IT. THE MISTAKE SOME MAKE IS GETTING SO CAUGHT UP IN EMAIL THAT THEY CHECK IT SEVERALTIMES A DAY (OR HOUR!) 【A4】______ CONSTANTLY SEARCHING THROUGH STACKS OF PAPERS AND PILES OF NOTES IS NO WAY TO RUN AN OFFICE.GET THE OFFICE SUPPLIES YOU NEED AND PUT THEM WHERE YOU WILL USE THEM. COLOR-CODE FILES.GET A SHREDDER.BUY A BIGGER FILE CABINET.GET AN EXTRA BOOKCASE.ORGANIZING YOUR OFFICE IS ONE OF THE EASIEST, MOST AFFORDABLE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE. 【A5】______ YOU DON"T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF.GIVING SOME OF YOUR WORKLOAD TO OTHERS WILL FREE YOU UP TO USE YOUR TIME BETTER, AND YOU WOULD DO MORE BUSINESS USING SAVED TIME. BEING UNORGANIZED COSTS YOU TIME; TIME THAT COULD OTHERWISE BE SPENT GROWING YOUR BUSINESS.YET WITH ONLY A FEW TWEAKS, RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS COULD BE EASIER, MORE ENJOYABLE, AND LESS STRESSFUL.AND WHO COULDN"T USE A LITTLE OF THAT RIGHT NOW? ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE IS A SMART MOVE.

【A1】A.SEARCH, DON"T FILE.B.MAKE AN APPOINTMENT RIGHT AFTER WORK.C.FIGURE OUT YOUR CORE WORK ACTIVITIES.D.AVOID INSTANT MESSAGING AND TURN OFF PHONES.E.SAY NO. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD AN EXTRA HOUR A DAY? THIS IS A COMMON BARRIER I RUN INTO WHEN I WRITE ABOUT MAKING POSITIVE LIFE CHANGES:PEOPLE DON"T HAVE TIME TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS.PEOPLE DON"T HAVE TIME TO EXERCISE.PEOPLE DON"T HAVE TIME TO GET ORGANIZED.WELL, IT"S TIME TO MAKE TIME.BY USING SOME COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU CAN FREE UP AN HOUR OR MORE A DAY.FIND THE ONES THAT WORK FOR YOU (NOT ALL WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE), AND THEN CARVE OUT THAT HOUR A DAY.THEN MAKE SURE YOU USE THAT EXTRA HOUR A DAY IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE—BOOK THAT HOUR ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR SOMETHING YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT TO DO, WHETHER THAT"S WORK ON A GOAL, WRITE A BOOK, START A BUSINESS, EXERCISE, READ MORE, OR WHATEVER.DON"T SQUANDER THIS GIFT OF TIME! 【A1】______ WHETHER IT"S EXERCISE OR WORKING ON SOME OTHER GOAL, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO DO IT RIGHT WHEN YOU GET OUT OF WORK (AT 5 P.M., FOR EXAMPLE).THIS WORKS ESPECIALLY WELL IF YOU HAVE TO MEET SOMEONE ELSE, SUCH AS A WORKOUT PARTNER OR OTHER GROUP OR TEAM OR COACH OR PARTNER, YOU"LL BE SURE TO MEET THE APPOINTMENT, WHICH MEANS YOU WON"T STICK AROUND WORK TOO LONG, AND YOU"LL BE SURE TO FINISH ALL YOUR TASKS ON TIME SO YOU CAN LEAVE ON TIME.THIS MAKES YOU MORE EFFICIENT IN THE AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY. 【A2】______ I"M NOT SAYING THESE TYPES OF INSTANT COMMUNICATION DON"T HAVE THEIR USES, BUT IF THEY"RE ALWAYS ON AND YOU"RE ALWAYS AVAILABLE, YOU"RE ALWAYS AT THE MERCY OF OTHERS. IN-STEAD, JUST MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE AT SET TIMES IF NECESSARY, OR NOT AT ALL IF IT"S NOT NECESSARY.YOU DON"T HAVE TO TURN OFF PHONES ALL DAY LONG, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME UNBROKEN BLOCKS OF TIME WHEN YOU DON"T TAKE CALLS, SO YOU CAN CONCENTRATE ON YOUR IMPORTANT TASKS.THIS ALLOWS YOU TO GET MORE DONE IN LESS TIME, AS PHONE CALLS CAN EAT UP CHUNKS OF YOUR DAY IF YOU LET THEM. 【A3】______ I USED TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME FILING ALL MY COMPUTER FILES AND ALL MY EMAILS INTO NICE, ORGANIZED FOLDERS.I"D SPEND TIME EVERY DAY DOING THIS.NOW, I JUST ARCHIVE EVERYTHING, ON COMPUTER AND EMAIL, AND SEARCH WHEN I NEED SOMETHING.WITH QUICKSILVER ON THE MAC, EVERY FILE IS WITHIN A FEW KEYSTROKES.WITH GMAIL, EVERY EMAIL IS ACCESSIBLE INSTANTLY.NO TIME SPENT FILING! 【A4】______ WHAT IS IT THAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO EACH DAY? I MEAN, THE STUFF YOU HAVE TO DO OR YOUR JOB WOULD FALL APART IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, A LOT OF THE TASKS YOU DO EACH DAY (AND PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS, MENTIONED ABOVE, ARE INCLUDED IN THESE TASKS) DON"T REALLY NEED TO BE DONE EACH DAY.SOMETIMES YOU CAN DO THEM LESS OFTEN, SOMETIMES YOU DON"T NEED TO DO THEM AT ALL.IF YOU CAN LEARN TO FOCUS ON YOUR CORE ACTIVITIES, YOU CAN GET YOUR WORK DONE IN LESS TIME. 【A5】______ ONE OF THE BIGGEST GROUPS OF TIME EATERS IS REQUESTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE.ALL DAY LONG WE GET REQUESTS, IN PERSON, ON THE PHONE, IN EMAIL, THROUGH PAPERWORK.MEETINGS, ASSIGNMENTS, REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION, REQUESTS TO BE ON A COMMITTEE OR TEAM...THESE ARE ALL REQUESTS THAT WILL EAT UP YOUR TIME.SAY NO TO ALL BUT THE ESSENTIALS.GET TO THE POINT. WHILE I"M A FAN OF LONG, SLOW CONVERSATIONS, IF YOU"RE TRYING TO MAKE TIME FOR GOALS, YOU NEED TO WHITTLE DOWN NEEDLESSLY LONG CONVERSATIONS—ESPECIALLY IF IT"S JUST WITH A COWORKER WHO ISN"T A CLOSE FRIEND.IN PERSON OR ON THE PHONE, YOU NEED TO GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT WITH A MINIMUM OF CHIT-CHAT, AND IF THE OTHER PERSON ISN"T GETTING TO THE POINT, POLITELY ASK WHAT HE NEEDS FROM YOU.

I SUGGEST YOU GIVE YOURSELF ONE DAY DURING WHICH YOU STICK SOLIDLY TO THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF.GIVE YOURSELF A SMALL TREAT AT THE END OF THE DAY IF YOU HAVE MANAGED TO KEEP IT UP.WAIT A WEEK AND THEN TRY IT AGAIN.ONCE YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE SEPARATE LIE-FREE DAYS,SEE【T12】______, THEN EXTEND IT TO A WHOLE WEEK.DON"T MAKE A PROMISE TO YOURSELF THATYOU WILL NEVER LIE AGAIN BECAUSE ALMOST CERTAINLY YOU WILL—IT"S TOO MUCH TO TAKE ON AT ONCE.TRY TO CHANGE THINGS LITTLE BY LITTLE, BY SETTING YOURSELF MANAGEABLE TARGETS.AFTER A WHILE, YOU"LL WONDER WHY YOU EVER HAD THE PROBLEM AT ALL.

THERE ARE REASONS TO BE OPTIMISTIC.THERE ARE TECHNOLOGICAL REASONS TO HOPE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE WILL NARROW.AS THE INTERNET BECOMES MORE AND MORE COMMERCIALIZED, IT IS IN THE INTEREST OF BUSINESS TO UNIVERSALIZE ACCESS—AFTER ALL, THE MORE PEOPLE ONLINE, THE MORE POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS THERE ARE.MORE ANDMORE GOVERNMENTS,【T11】______,WANT TO SPREAD INTERNET ACCESS.WITHIN THE NEXTDECADE OR TWO, ONE TO TWO BILLION PEOPLE ON THE PLANET WILL BE NETTED TOGETHER.【T12】_____,I NOW BELIEVE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE WILL NARROW RATHER THAN WIDEN IN THE YEARSAHEAD.AND THAT IS VERY GOOD NEWS BECAUSE THE INTERNET MAY WELL BE THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL FOR COMBATING WORLD POVERTY THAT WE"VE EVER HAD.
