Read more about the book I mentioned in the video.
This is Dr. Mercola, and I want to welcome you to another video update. Today's subject is about time saving, which is in fact related to your health. If you don't have enough time, you're not going to be able to pursue activities that are going to make you healthy, such as exercise, and shopping for, and preparing, good foods.
For most of us, e-mail is a significant time drain. I don't know about you, but I frequently get up to 150, maybe even 200, e-mails a day, and it tends to consume a large portion of my day. So I thought I'd share with you a strategy that I'm going to be adopting, which I think you'll find useful too.
I learned about this strategy in a new book which I've really been enjoying called, Four Hour Work Week
by Tim Ferriss. This book gives you some really great principles for reducing the amount of things you're doing in life, while still being able to achieve your goals.
With respect to e-mail, a helpful strategy is to check e-mail only twice a day. Yes! Twice a day! This deals with the problem we run into when we get into the habit of e-mailing and responding in a quick fashion, which in turn increases the likelihood of generating additional e-mail.
I'm very excited about adopting this new strategy, because the less e-mail I have to do, the more time I have to pursue other activities. Hopefully, this is helpful for you. I recommend picking up a copy of Tim Ferriss' book, in which you'll find many other helpful hints.
Thanks for watching. I hope this info helps you to save more time, and so, enable you to take control of your health.
