Since reading Tim Ferris’ The 4-Hour Work Week (4HWW,) I was inspired to start batching my work. No emails before 11am or after 3pm. That habit alone saves me time in every corner of my life. I appreciate the spare minutes I collect throughout the day. I no longer waste my time checking email, thinking about work, stressing about work, talking about work with my partner before and after spending long days at the office.
