Recommendations for time saving and business development

Avoid distraction

Mobile phones are the biggest source of distraction, since you carry it all the time with you, what'S App is the biggest source of distraction ... if you are a member in any what'app group, you will get constant buzz, I have disabled notifications from whatsapp, whenever I feel like then only I check, but still it wastes plenty of time.

I had uninstalled whatsapp and it was good peace of mind, Instagram is another time wasting and fruitless app, it is for teenagers who have enough time to take and check selfies, I had checked instagram just to see why Facebook paid 2 billion dollars for such a worthless app, which has made zero money so far.

Uninstall Facebook app from your mobile phone, it is also a very time wasting app, disable notifications from every app, if not then they will buzz and it will attract your attention.

Check emails at the end of the day, if you check it before you start to work, you will get into reactive mode rather than productive mode.

Almost every company employee wastes at least 2 hours of productive time because of distractions, when a person is busy in some task and he gets a call, even if the call is just for 1 or 2 minutes, after the call a person has to think, where was he and it takes around 5-15 minutes to get back to the point where he left, in most cases a person can completely forget about the task he was doing and might do something else.

Switch off the mobile phone, it will give you peace of mind, I do it 99% of time and I feel very relaxed. Distraction will cut your flow, if the task takes some hours to complete, with distraction you may not be able to complete or you will complete it with errors or it will take you extra hours to complete.

Productivity of D's

Do
Delegate
Dump
Delay

If you have a task and it is important , just do it, remember what I said, if you have an unsolved issue, it will create a loop in your brain which will constantly remind of unsolved issue, so solve it as fast as you can and free up your mental resources.

Delegate

if task doesn’t require absolutely you to do it, you can delegate it to your assistant and free up yourself, it helps you focus more on important issues.

Dump

if the task is just a noise, can be dumped, then dump it, lot of unnecessary tasks pop up, they seem important but they are not, don’t waste your resources on it, dump it.

Delay

If the task is not that important and you can delay it, delay it.

These are the 4D's of productivity, which are mentioned by many time saving gurus.

Remember:

Money, but especially Time is limited; if you spend money in buying things which you don’t want, then you won’t have money to buy things you want and need or are important for you and/or your business.

Do not loose time on phones.
