Identify low-value operations and spend less time on them

Spend only as much time on decisions, tasks, and activities as they are worth.

The key is to identify low-value operations or any type of work that doesn’t advance your main work objectives. These tasks are usually the easy and comforting ones, like reorganizing your workspace, because they require little or no thought at all. 

To do this, you will need to take a step back and evaluate how you spend your time on a daily basis. Each activity should be evaluated to see if it is adding value to your main work responsibilities.
