Too many e-mails a copy, SMS, too many metrics (Weekly, monthly, quarterly, .. balance score cards, ..), too much time spent on tasks that are not important and in the end it is important and urgent and re-classify between: I do, I delegate it to the trash, to the agenda. Before
read my last book of Seth Godin (Linchpin, of which I have spoken) thought this was due to our lack of efficiency and effectiveness of sophisticated tools such as "One Page Plan," Magic Matrices and strategy maps Kaplan and this in my classes I teach to use them.
Now I know that the issue is much more complex: although we know make a strategic plan on one sheet and is much easier to follow the evolution of our business (such as airline pilot or surgeon, who have at your eyes the vital parameters of their work), we spent hours reading emails that are not urgent in our iPhone / Blackberry / PC or tweeting irrelevant information, "distracting" what to do.
According to Seth, is our "lizard brain" for fear that doing what we do, to take risks, make mistakes, pushes us the easy, comfortable, which does not involve making decisions.
be to avoid this that has created software "Freedom", an application that Mackeros can buy for $ 10 and allows us to decide how long we want to be disconnected from the Internet, up to 8 hours. That is, during the set time, our MAC can not connect to the network and to do it or wait for the time that we have "given" or have to restart your Mac
Here you have the link to the website of Freedom and I beg you read what writers and other famous saying , which can finally finish a chapter or work properly: http://macfreedom.com/
What do you think?
Are we so hooked to the Internet we need a software Methadone, a software "patch" that prevents us from enjoying the service for a few hours?
