Give yourself designated times throughout the day to check your social media or call your partner or take meetings. A lack of focus is what kills productivity and effectiveness.
5. Listen!
Open your ears, rather then your mouth. If you learn to listen more effectively you will be able to identify the opportunities & challenges that exist in front of you.
You can save a lot of time & stress by learning to listen & pause before you respond thoughtfully.

Being effective means you find a solution and don't dwell on the problem and what has already occurred!

Make informed decisions and find a way to move forward —that's the most important.
