<h2>[WHEN]</h2>
<ol>
<li>]</li>
</ol>
<h2>[EXAMPLE]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>[REVIEW]&bull;Reflect on Friday, Plan on Monday:</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>This helps ease stress and lets you evaluate what you&rsquo;ve accomplished and what you are going to accomplish for the coming week.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[] &bull;Do the rule of 3:</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>list 3 things that you can accomplish each day. This gives you a sense of accomplishment.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[] &bull;Identify data streams:&nbsp;</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>Social networking, online groups, websites you visit everyday&hellip;think about what can be dropped from your schedule that aren&rsquo;t productive or of benefit to you.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[] &bull;Draw a line when things get stressful:</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>Decide what is important and choose those first, always.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[] &bull;On TV:&nbsp;</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>You don&rsquo;t have to binge watch shows. It&rsquo;s okay not to watch Scandal.&nbsp; People binge watch then complain that they are too busy to do anything.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[COM EMAIL]</strong><strong>&bull;Streamline your email:</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>See cc as FYI, not as to-do list items. Have emails you are cc&rsquo;ed on go directly to another folder, and only read them every other day.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[COM EMAIL]</strong><strong>&bull;Don&rsquo;t check email in the morning:</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>You will get your entire day&rsquo;s work done by 9-12 and then check your email after lunch. (author note: the audience gasped at this suggestion, but Hanselman says that &uml;if the next 9/11 happens, someone will come and tell you.&uml;)</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[DON'T] &bull;Don&rsquo;t put your energy into things you don&rsquo;t want more of.</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] Responding to email gets you more email.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[] &bull;You teach people how to treat you:</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>If you direct them all to email instead of meetings, they learn that&rsquo;s how to communicate with you, for example. If you are responding to emails at 1 or 2 am, then people get used to that routine and will always expect you to respond.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[SCHEDULE] Schedule work sprints</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>with the Pomodoro Technique</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[] &bull;You aren&rsquo;t doing actual multitasking:</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>Hanselman claims that people think they are multitasking but are only harming themselves. A physical task and mental task are the only things that can truly be multitasked: e.g. email and walking treadmill desk (Hanselman walks 10 miles per day on his), listening to podcasts while exercising, etc</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[DONT] &bull;Don&rsquo;t set up &uml;guilt systems&uml; or monuments to your own failure:</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>Stop trying to guilt yourself into doing something. Remove that stack of books on your nightstand that you haven&rsquo;t read but you make yourself see every night.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[DO] &bull;If it&rsquo;s not helping you make money</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] throw it out [of your life].&nbsp;</li>
</ol></ol>
