Get rid of time stealers
During our working day we have lots of things and habits that waste our time and productivity. As these habits may cost our success and career, we need to recognize and control them. This means that we have to limit the time that we spend on mindless and useless tasks and devote it more important and effective tasks. You can do it, if you schedule definite time blocks for the tasks that waste a great part of your time and avoid the temptation to be engaged in them out of these blocks. It will help you to turn your time and energy to achieving your goals and success.
