In a desperate attempt to keep control of his life business expert Robert Craven has adopted a 'Don't do' list policy. It should be easier to stick to than a 'To do' list but actually it is still pretty tricky. So, in no particular order...
Don't email first thing or last thing each day
Don't email before 10.00am or after 4.00pm. Emailing first thing screws up the day as you get distracted beyond belief. Emailing last thing screws up your sleep pattern - it can wait till tomorrow!
Don't check emails regularly
Check them at set times, say 10.00am and 3.30pm, ie not often. You must define one important/key task for each day and that must be your first priority. Email addiction will destroy your business and screw up your brain.
