Prime Time vs. Interuptions
By: Tina Farewell

~~ PRIME TIME ~~

PRIME TIME is the time you accomplish the most important things
in your day. You may want to take a moment to define what PRIME
TIME means in your life.


PRIME TIME may be a few moments of quiet time with your youngest
child
before working on academics with your older ones. PRIME TIME could be
tending to your aged mother-in-law, reading to a child, or serving at
a soup kitchen.


Or PRIME TIME could be writing a book or listing items to sell on
eBay.


We each have our own definition of PRIME TIME, and we each have
our own definition of INTERRUPTIONS.


~~ VERSUS INTERRUPTIONS ~~


Alex Mandossian's definition of an INTERRUPTION is an
unknown--like what is on the other side of a closed door or an
unopened email. An INTERRUPTION may be positive or negative, but
the fact is this--an INTERRUPTION is an unknown.


So, unless you have caller ID and know what a phone call
concerns or you know specifically what is going to be in an email, you
shouldn't answer the phone or open the email during your PRIME TIME.


Alex says don't EVER look at email the first thing in the morning.
That's because you don't know the content of the email and it
may ruin your creativity for the day.


If you have an online business, he states that you'll just have
more orders if you wait till later in the day to check them! You'll
also wait to know about any problems, returns, etc., until later
-- when your productive PRIME TIME is over for the day.


So, instead of dealing with INTERRUPTIONS first thing in the
morning, Alex says that first he exercises (he's a champion squash
player), which, besides being good for him, also increases his
endorphin
levels thereby increasing his productivity.


He then works for four solid hours--with NO INTERRUPTIONS from
his wife, children, phone, email, etc.


Everyone knows his PRIME TIME is sacred.


~~ DO PRIME TIME FIRST ~~


In just a few words, the key is to go straight into productive
PRIME TIME--habitually--every morning and don't get stopped by
INTERRUPTIONS.


If PRIME TIME is practiced every day--habitually--your brain is ready
for it and it
becomes even more productive!


So, let's skip the INTERRUPTIONS tomorrow morning and move
straight into productive PRIME TIME-- what is truly important!!!


Tina Farewell
who hopes the concept of PRIME TIME blesses you and yours!
