Time Management Techniques

When I was at the Dan Kennedy event in NYC earlier this month I bought his book 'No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs ~ The Ultimate No Holds Barred, Kick Butt, Take no Prisoners, Guide to Time Productivity & Sanity'. There were three or four piles of books on the Barnes & Noble table and thinking the word 'sanity' on this book is what caught my attention! Remaining relatively sane is always a good thing and I also wanted a signed copy of a book and my picture with Dan Kennedy. I love this picture of us! Did you know his wife (who he's married twice..) is also named Carla?

Anyway ~ I believe Dan Kennedy does what he tells other people to do and that's the key to his extraordinary success. Chapter 6 in the book is titled 'The Ten Time Management Techniques Really Worth Using'. I'm still reading but these look good to me so I want to share the information with others. Here we go with the first one  and please note that is book 8 years old and it's still great info! 

Technique #1: Tame the Phone

Dan Kennedy is big on not letting the phone put you and your business on a time management roller coaster. He extends this philosophy to email too and always mentions fax. Remember this is the guy who had an overhead projector (not PowerPoint) at the NYC event. He believes tending to these on demand is the number one source of disruption and distraction for most people and I agree!
