80/20 Your Life! How To Get More Done With Less Effort And Change Your Life In The Process!

by Damon Zahariades

First, make a list of the 20 websites you visit most often during the week. Then, note the amount of time you spend on each one. If you’re unable to come up with accurate estimates, use RescueTime or a similar time tracking app to monitor your online activity. Second, circle five sites on your list that you’ll allow yourself to visit in the future. These will likely be the sites at which you spend the majority of your time. Third, set a timer for 60 minutes at the beginning of each day. Start the timer each time you visit one of these five sites. Allow it to count down, and only stop it when you stop surfing. Continue to do this throughout the day without resetting the timer. When the timer finally reaches zero, you’ll have effectively used up that day’s web surfing time.
