Something needs to go, or I need to keep myself from compulsively checking these distractions.

After a suggestion, I watched a lecture by the late professor Randy Pausch titled Time Management. Youtube.

Which led into watching and reading more about Inbox Zero. 43 Folders.

Which led me to take action.

I’ve moved all email out of my inbox. And im going to keep it clear of all messages. I’ve also removed the new email notification from my phone. Im sure I will sleep better without waking up to notifications that do not concern me.

RSS: Pruned. Im unsubscribing to the Digg popular stories feed. I spend too much time reading mindless crap on the internet when I could be doing something else.

Now all thats left is keeping Twitter closed during the day and I will be a zen master.

Wish me luck.
