Get rid of meaningless meetings
Don’t have meetings if they are not productive or required; they waste an enormous amount of time for organizations every year. Share the relevant information in advance and restrict the meeting to only decision meetings. Many items that feel like they require a meeting can usually be addressed over a few messages.
Define small tasks and goals for the day
Set goals for the day and small tasks that will get you there. It is always easy to make progress on small tasks throughout the day than to tackle a large daunting task, break it down into small tasks and go from there. Having a list of tasks to work off for the day will also allow you to hold yourself accountable at the end of the day.
Free up your email
