Do you want to accomplish more tasks during the day? - Uninstall Google Notifier and others distractors..
Some years ago I was very happy to hear about the new Google feature - Google Gmail Notifier.
You know, Notifier’s purposes is to inform you about your arriving emails immediately - a small window pop-ups at the right corner of Windows when new email arrives at your Gmail inbox.
I was very happy, but for some time.
I have noticed that my daily job routines were interrupted all the time by this pop-up. I started to read new email every time I have got it.
I had to postpone my jobs, my current tasks to read email inbox. Because it is so curious to know what have you got in your inbox. That was wasting of time, because you know, a lot of emails are just spam and empty jokes, which do nothing but eats your expensive time.
Now I have removed notifier.
Nothing bad happened. I have plenty of time for my daily tasks. If people want to contact me immediately or my urgent response, they simply call me by mobile phone.
That’s it! Treasure your time, It is most useful resource you have!
PS> the same applies to all shit about instant notifiers:
- Unsubscribe from Push mail on your PDA/smart-phone.
- Make instant messengers offline all the time, except you need to somebody to communicate quickly
- Disable Outlook features which notifies about new email
- Keep MS Outlook offline, except you need to write letter to get email in certain periods of time
- Use voicemail on your mobile phone, in case you cant pick up the call
- Change phone melody to more silent one
- and so on..
