Day 1
I won’t post on my email withdrawal every day, but the first day of disciplining myself to only check it once or twice had a few moments…
1. I use my cell phone as my alarm clock and my phone has my email on it. As usual, i woke up to seeing what email came in overnight. I was in the shower before I remembered the commitment I had made the night before.
2. Today was an unusual day because I wasn’t in the office at all. Had an off0site meeting in the morning and then was out scouting a potential location for a future campus…so I didn’t open my computer at all during the day anyway. Made day 1 a little easier, I’m sure.
3. I was able to process all important things with Cindy (my assistant) through a single phone call late in the afternoon.
4. I checked my email once tonight and processed everything I needed to in about 15 minutes. Most amazingly, I only SENT 4 emails today. That will be a tough one to keep also.
5. Huge side benefit…In the past, I have been guilty of reading email while I’m driving. I know it is horrible and stupid…and deadly (Have you seen this video? Got it from a friend’s blog.) I’m done with that.
One day in the books with success…4 weeks to go.
Would you ask that I wait till after September to share on email? I don’t have a number to call you Ive lost that.
Had some questions on church planting.
