Take 5 minutes to list the ways you tend to waste time.

Review your list and identify items that waste large amounts and small amounts of time.

Picking one large time waster and one small time waster, make a plan for the next week to work consciously toward eliminating both of them.

At the end of the week, review your progress and mark a plus (+) or minus (-) next to the selected time wasters for each incident during the week.

Pick two additional time wasters to work on during the next week, following the same process until you have successfully eliminated the time wasters.
