Close Your Gmail Tab Right Now!

In addition to Jamblr, I am also Founder and CEO of a multi-dimensional entertainment company called Endagon Entertainment Group. Needless to say, I see a large influx of emails everyday, ranging anywhere from job applications to messages from family members. I use to let email control my life, thinking I had to be that guy that replied right away to make sure things were constantly progressing. Now I have my iPhone for that.

I have to admit that I am still on my iPhone too much. Whenever an important message comes in to me outside of office hours, I find it hard to resist replying right away, especially if it is an important business matter. Because of my addiction to iPhone emailing, I have found myself being more productive at the office simply by closing my Gmail tab throughout the day. As usual, I still start the morning rummaging through emails but then quickly move on to more important tasks.

I highly recommend that everyone avoid being “that guy” that is always anticipating the next email to come in. This addiction ruins lives and I am very proud to say that I overcame it. Now, my Remember the Milk list is demolished every day and I have more time to focus on those tasks that are much more important to me and my company, including Jamblr.
