Disciplined Distractions
Consider your average workday. How much of it is consumed by distractions? How much more work could you get done if you reduced them?
Now for the brutal part: How many of those distractions are chosen by you and not inflicted by others?
My guess is that it's a large amount so here's the assignment:
Set aside 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon for those self-chosen distractions. No other time can be devoted to them.
A rigid application of that regimen will make a big difference.
