How you end up wasting time

[dropcap]Y[/dropcap]ou know how sometimes you'll do something because you think you have time for it? Well, most people think that they have five minutes to do something really quick and then they just complete that extra task, taking five minutes out of their day. This can become a problem because it leads to doing one five-minute task after another until they add up to a full hour or more.

However, I've been doing things quite a bit differently and my productivity has gone way up lately. Why not try to schedule these little tasks into your day as "Miscellaneous duties" instead of doing them at random times throughout the day? That way you don't destroy your day with random stuff that wasn't supposed to be in it. Try it sometime, it really works.
