11 Things Ultra Productive People Do Differently

I am a sucker for time management blogs and books. Travis Bradberry has a recent post that I enjoyed. 

Number 7 particularly caught my eye--they only check email at designated times. 

I check email all day. A good day is when I can keep the inbox under five at all times. I know I am wasting time that could be better spent in other endeavors, but the empty mailbox is so measurable.

So I am not going to lie. I will continue to check email all day. In fact I may sneak a peak right now.

Enjoy the article. http://entm.ag/1O2ky5j
