Theyre on the loose. Almost everyone (if not everyone) is guilty of giving in or becoming victim to these time thieves one way or another. In fact, most of these time robbers have become normal parts of peoples daily lives.
TV and Radio
Who can resist watching their favorite shows on TV? If you really want to save time, turn off the boob tube. I know its extremely difficult to control the urge; but if you start watching TV, youll get hooked. What was originally a decision to watch a one-hour show could turn into a 4-hour addiction. Be strict in limiting your watching time. Better yet, dont watch at all!
The same thing applies to the radio. If youre going to listen at all, choose classical music. It stimulates the brain and is a more productive use of your time.
Phone
The phone can actually be a time-saver if you know how to use it properly. Instead of emailing someone, engaging in a phone call can allow you to get the answers right away. Saying it is definitely faster than writing it. Of course, there are exceptions when email or other methods are better, like when a detailed list is needed.
