• Tell people around to call you if there is anything important and if they send you a message tell them to expect a message only within a few hours.
• Work on your to-do list should be the first thing in the morning. Plan your entire day perfectly and after that check your messages, I am sure you will not going to waste your time because your daily routine opposes you to do so.
