After reading 4-Hour Workweek, I immediately added an autoresponder to my email so it would have me check emails in “batches” and not constantly be combing through my inbox. I also asked around and decided on odesk.com for building my team of virtual assistants. The autoresponder has been a great way to let people know that I’m only checking email twice a day and it’s a way for me to put in a plug for my video tutorial blog (i.e. “…Thanks for your email. If you’re writing because you have a question about video production, please check out my blog betterinternetvideo.com…”

Thank you so much for choosing me as your winner! And a very Happy Birthday to you.

The amount of time I unplug depends on the project. When I have a big deliverable, it can be from 1-3 hours in one chunk. Otherwise, I try to unplug at least an hour during the workday to focus.

Thanks to everyone who entered so far! I love learning from you guys and appreciate your insight.

@Becky- I may just need to set aside time to “unplug” as you said. Any recommendations to someone who is connected at all times? Do you set aside a specific amount of time, say 1-2 hours each day? or does it vary depending on what projects you’re working on, how much time the projects may take etc?

@Melani- Thanks so much for sharing about Toggl. I’m checking it out now and it seems to be a great way to stay on task!

I’ve been using Toggl for 4 months now. I have categorized highest priority items, clients, prospecting and project work. I keep track of every minute of every day.

It helps keep me disciplined when I find myself shopping online at Banana Republic.

Happy Birthday Friend.

Having someone to delegate to sometimes improves the management of non-delegated tasks too, because you have to actively manage the To-Do list, which can be ignored or procrastinated on. Some of us are very, very good procrastinators.

Having someone else to assist with managing my calendar would be a huge help!
