Baby steps...
Jan. 4th, 2011 05:16 pmI've taken a hatchet to my inbox (Gmail/uni/PurpleMantis/personal accounts), and managed to get my inbox below 50 messages for the first time in ages. Too many of the remaining ones are about overdue BAS paperwork that I need to fill in... I think one of my New Year's resolutions should be getting on top of my tax.
Once I deal with the persistent nagging jobs, I want to keep my inbox down to 25 or fewer messages. I'm also going to put aside some time at the start and end of each day for replying to anything that isn't urgent - otherwise I lose far too much time from my day, when new emails drag me away from doing actual work.
By the end of the month, I'd really like to have some kind of routine to my "work" days. It would help to make things a bit more productive, and would also make sure that I separate out my "non-work" days... the last few years have been a bit of a blur, with work happening in any hour that I'm not asleep.
