Fighting Time Bandits

Spot and intervene with time bandits, those annoying distractions that interrupt productivity. They're numerous and endless, which makes effectively managing your time an art. Many time bandits lurk within your habits. They may be as close as your "to-do" list-the oldest and often least understood productivity tool. Rather than using it as a memory jogger and recording everything you could possibly need to do, make a list of only two or three things that absolutely must get done today. Doing so will cause you to work on what counts, rather than diddling with the less important time bandits. Best-selling author and business success expert Michael Gerber coaches even his high-powered CEO clients in how to use this technique to get more done.
