I’ve realized lately that my productivity level is going lower than usual. The reason behind that is the distraction caused by emails, IM, SMS, skype, phones, etc. Not to mention RSS subscriptions that could easily get out of hands.
My decision was to limit my communication overhead to minimum. That means less emails, less chatting and less RSS.
I understand the importance of knowing what the rest of entrepreneurs are doing. But what more important is to do the actual work.
A lot of people have great ideas, but only few build them. Ideas don’t mean anything without a proof of concept.
So if you are surprised why I am doing less blogging & chatting. then you should know that I am up to something. You will know sooner than you think ;)
