This week we facilitated group productivity training at Chicago creative meeting place Catalyst Ranch. One of the time management tips we shared was to (you may want to sit down for this) turn off your email application when you need to insert more think time to your work day.
One concern raised..."what happens if I get so involved in my work that I forget to turn email back on??? I'll get fired if I stop answering emails!"
Quiet Hours, a small application that runs on PCs or Macs, is a clever solution. The following video illustrates how this free lifehacker.com exclusive download automatically re-launches applications, files, or folders after a set period of time.
You decide what programs to re-launch...and when to do so. Quiet Time does the rest. Download your free version today, and tell us what distraction-free time does to your personal productivity.
Thanks to Derek Huyser, principal at our favorite Chicago information systems company, Apogee Strategies, for inspiring this post. And to Adam Pash for sharing his application.
