This Make Your Own Website Project is encountering some challenges.

The goal of writing a page a day is delayed by a few daily activities.

Whatever that’s getting in the way has to go…

Staying focus is completing the daily list and getting rid of those which obstructed me from completing the task.

What’s the problem?

One of those is reading and replying emails.

If it has got nothing to do with web building, I’ve got to clear it.

I could complete a page if I could stopped replying to 2 emails.

Do and Done

I subscribed to tens of hundreds of newsletters and I am getting an average of 80 emails per day. It’s best to stop reading but there are a few concerning web building.

Unsubscribing the rest may be the solution but the process is a time waster.

Also not all unsubscribing are safe. Some may ended up with more spams instead.

Report Spam

I signed in to my Gmail and marked all mails as spams and unchecked those that are related to web building.

Time spent on 5 pages was 40 minutes.
Done

Club Matters

One of the daily chores was taking care of club matters – a non-profit organization.

I can’t stopped reading the mails. I am actually addicted.

One of the solutions may be to unsubscribe temporary. But writing in to request and later on a follow up explanation to the administrator of the Yahoo Group will too be a bigger time waster!

The fastest solution – delete the account.
And so the Yahoo email account was deleted within 2 minutes.
Deleting the account too removed me from the Instant Messaging.

A painful cut and 3 days later, I’m still feeling the pull.

Will they missed me?
“Are You That Great?”

The other daily chores

There’s another daily activity that I had been doing for years. It only takes a few minutes a day. And that is monitoring all the emails of the club and redirecting them to the right officer.

Not a chore if I enjoyed doing it. But if sticking to whatever that gets in the way of Project Make Your Own Website has to go, then this has to go too.

I spent another hour checking the password of all the accounts and sending an email to my club mentors to transfer the duty.

Done.

Time spent 3 hours today, but that should cut off an hour of my daily time wasters.

Staying focused – Completing it whatever it takes and removing those that get in the way!

What should I do tomorrow with that extra hour?

Let me get a bottle of Southern Comfort tonight….

Should it go with Coke or 7up?
