Spreading similar tasks across the whole day is the way to waste time
During the day business people may have endless list of tasks and there may be many similar ones among them. When doing them separately, it may take twice more time. It will be more effective if you group the tasks of the same type and assign them to the same time. For example, phone calls or meetings. If you group questions you need to solve and discuss it at one meeting rather than holding 3 different ones. If you know that you need to make 10 phone calls on a certain day, schedule them all at one time. This will save you a lot of time and make you more self-disciplined.
