My “limit-to-seven” suggestion refers solely to tasks that require at least 15 minutes to complete. You’ll find that many of the tasks on your master list can be handled within one or two minutes. Following are a few examples: Make your bed Check your voicemail Sort your mail Start a load of laundry Make a dinner reservation Subscribe to a newsletter (like mine!) Return a phone call Add a plug-in to your Wordpress blog Declutter your desktop Decide what to have for dinner
