I've tried. I get anxious and wondering if I've missed an assignment or if something has gone wrong that I really needed to take care of when I go all day without checking e-mail. I fully admit that not all tips work for everyone. Chances are, though, that most people can find something in there that can help them at least until they find something else that's not listed that helps them even better. Thank you for your comment. Best, ~Jen David,

Thank you for your comment.

I can't possibly ignore emails until the end of the day. What I do instead, which has been working better for me, is to allow myself to check my emails 3 times a day. In the morning, right before I feed the dog, do the laundry (that allows me to better organize my week and set priorities) and all that as well as with my lunch break (just in case I have to answer to an emergency... which happens quite often in our profession. I am not suggesting to answer to all of them but at least you can shoot a quick reply saying: "I'll take care of it by....") and one last time at the end of the day with a glass of wine. Cheers!

At least it is for me. I can't (yet) shut it off completely during the day, but I'm getting better at confining the Internet to "sanity breaks" (before my sanity breaks) at a couple intervals throughout the day. Unless I need to use an online medical dictionary for the day job (MUCH easier than opening up the bulky hardcover one I have). Best, ~Jen Believe me, #10 *is* the hardest. At least it is for me.

And thanks so much for answering my original request for quotable tips. Constant reminders work well for me. (The calendar in the picture here is my secondary deadline calendar, my primary one is a lot more filled in than that.) I have the two calendars and a Day Timer. Best, ~Jen Thank you, Laurie.

It's also extremely helpful to write your goal(s) down, and post them where you can see them: over your desk, on the bathroom mirror, in your daytimer. The more "in your face" your goals are, the more motivated you may be to achieve them.....as long as you're not the type who gets overwhelmed by constant reminders :-) This are practical, effective tips, thanks Jen!
