Stalac Hoiton's Key Ideas from How to Be a Productivity Ninja
by Graham Allcott

The first thing I learnt from its blink apart from the fact that ninjas are ruthless, agile, and imperfect is that ninjas don't manage time, they manage attention. So, the first step is to know attention cycle. It refers to knowing when you are proactively attentive, when you are actively attentive and when inactively attentive. Some people have proactive attention in the morning and inactive attention after lunch while some have this swapped. But what matters is to do the right things at the right time. The ninja maps his attention levels, noting when he’s at his best and when he slumps.

First, stop checking your e-mails, and start processing them. You want to get emails out of your inbox qs soon as possible. To process emails efficiently, remember the three d’s: if you can deal with it, delete it, or delegate it in less than two minutes, then do it! 

For Emails that demand more than two minutes, create designated folders- The first, the action folder, is for emails that require an action that will take more than two minutes. Next, the read folder is for emails you’d like to read. And finally, the waiting folder is for emails that need someone else’s attention.
