Time management is a huge contributing factor to success in both your professional and personal life. Priorities need to be laid out at the start of each day. Brogan and his commenters talk about not checking email for a few hours. I personally find this instrumental in getting tasks done! If I check one email, I will check another. Then another. Before you know it, I am working on a totally different project. Or worse yet, surfing the web, Facebook or Twitter. What works for you? How do you lay out your priorities at work? At home?
