E.BY USING SOME COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU CAN FREE UP AN HOUR OR MORE A DAY.FIND THE ONES THAT WORK FOR YOU (NOT ALL WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE), AND THEN CARVE OUT THAT HOUR A DAY.THEN MAKE SURE YOU USE THAT EXTRA HOUR A DAY IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE—BOOK THAT HOUR ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR SOMETHING YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT TO DO, WHETHER THAT"S WORK ON A GOAL, WRITE A BOOK, START A BUSINESS, EXERCISE, READ MORE, OR WHATEVER.DON"T SQUANDER THIS GIFT OF TIME! 【A1】______ WHETHER IT"S EXERCISE OR WORKING ON SOME OTHER GOAL, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO DO IT RIGHT WHEN YOU GET OUT OF WORK (AT 5 P.
M., FOR EXAMPLE).THIS WORKS ESPECIALLY WELL IF YOU HAVE TO MEET SOMEONE ELSE, SUCH AS A WORKOUT PARTNER OR OTHER GROUP OR TEAM OR COACH OR PARTNER, YOU"LL BE SURE TO MEET THE APPOINTMENT, WHICH MEANS YOU WON"T STICK AROUND WORK TOO LONG, AND YOU"LL BE SURE TO FINISH ALL YOUR TASKS ON TIME SO YOU CAN LEAVE ON TIM

G.WITH QUICKSILVER ON THE MAC, EVERY FILE IS WITHIN A FEW KEYSTROKES.WITH GMAIL, EVERY EMAIL IS ACCESSIBLE INSTANTLY.NO TIME SPENT FILING! 【A4】______ WHAT IS IT THAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO EACH DAY? I MEAN, THE STUFF YOU HAVE TO DO OR YOUR JOB WOULD FALL APART IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, A LOT OF THE TASKS YOU DO EACH DAY (AND PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS, MENTIONED ABOVE, ARE INCLUDED IN THESE TASKS) DON"T REALLY NEED TO BE DONE EACH DAY.SOMETIMES YOU CAN DO THEM LESS OFTEN, SOMETIMES YOU DON"T NEED TO DO THEM AT ALL.IF YOU CAN LEARN TO FOCUS ON YOUR CORE ACTIVITIES, YOU CAN GET YOUR WORK DONE IN LESS TIM
