1. Practice the "one touch" rule with emails & paper mail – either toss or respond right away.

2. Keep a list of daily, weekly & monthly goals.

3. Make sure your goals are measurable.

4. Get comfortable saying "No" when you're too busy already.

5. Multi-task while you're on the phone – my favorite thing to do is fold laundry.

6. Keep an organized workspace – everything should have a place.

7. Hold yourself accountable or ask friends (or blog readers) to hold you to deadlines.

8. Break big projects into smaller tasks and conquer them one at a time.

9. Give yourself free time for rest and inspiration gathering.

10. Ask yourself, "What's holding me back?" and change whatever is stopping you.
