Email can be a huge distraction when you’re trying to complete a project. Most of us could be completely focused on a task and then that `bing’ will sound. Well, just like Pavlov’s dog, we open up our email software to see what bit of instant gratification is in our email box. Each time that you fall prey to the lure of checking your email, you are wasting precious minutes that add up to hours of wasted time. However, there are some great tactics that you can use to avoid the lure of your email inbox.

Let's say you earn $50 on average per hour. It makes no sense for you to clean your house when you can hire someone at $15 per hour to do it for you (unless you really love to clean!) If you are on a lower hourly rate then you can still utilize this principle, it just means that you need to find help that does not cost too much.
