Plan Your Day

Plan Your Day Early, and Away From the Computer

• Before you are about to begin using a computer is the time when you will be most in control. Use this time wisely to establish yourself in productive ways for the day.

• Keep as much of your diary, to-do lists, and other important planning information offline as possible. Use hard-bound diaries, iPhones, and other organizers to maintain a distance. You might wish to print off instructions such as these.

• If you need to, go to a park, cafe, or somewhere else away from a computer, to help gain further perspective.

• Establish and write down the most important things to achieve, for that day.

• Place your job list in a spot that is clearly visible from wherever you are working.

• Decide in advance how much time you will be using the computer, and when you will cease using it. Turn your computer off completely when not required for your work. Setting an alarm for this time can be useful — just make sure you set the alarm in a distant room, so you can’t merely jump up to turn it off.

• Most of us need to check our emails early in the day, to see what needs to be done. We rarely need to re-check it that day, as 24-48 hours is an acceptable time to reply. Make a conscious decision only to check your emails once (or more if required) during the day.

• Consider a separate email account for fun emails, subscriptions, and other non-work activities. Set aside the end of the day for any further looking at these, as well as forums, games, online networking, and other likely addictive online activities.
