Incoming demands and digital distractions can get in the way of real productivity. If you do one big thing today, you will feel like it is a productive day.
Ask yourself: What’s the one big thing you want to accomplish today?

If there is one important thing to say or one vital thing you need from your recipient, try to wait until the end and put it in the P.S. line.
