Warning: Family, friends, and people you've never met continue stealing your most valuable resource – “Space-Time”.
That priceless resource must be conserved for action. Action comes in three basic flavors – Work, Pleasure & Rest. Space-time to write, to research, to study is passively being wasted by synergy-leaches™; and, unlike money, once they steal your quanta of Space-Time, its archive can not be rewritten. Opportunity for change has been lost.
In the Time Trap by Alex McKenzie, the telephone, exposed as the greatest weapon on Earth, must be mastered to avoid the inherent trap of time hidden in that simple device. Today some thirty years later I have discover the same traps lurking well hidden in technoid devices of social networks to steal our success.
Like most people, you allow time-thieves who rob you by answering the phone each time we experience the ring. This behavioral trained response ensures failure for those who fail to acknowledge it. An average call of 3.5 minutes with the occasional 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there – TADA – two hours or more of priceless time each day is gone.
Serious copywriters with a success plan take control of Space-Time on the phone, on the web [email, podmail (voicemail, videomail) etc.].
Here's how:
During scheduled writing times no outside communication. Also, take calls that are directly work-related during work hours that are not assign to product creation. Manage what you do in the frames of Space-Time. S-T is limited. Once you have done this day you can not do it over again! One can only view the past; never can it be done over or changed.
Caller ID info should be used with an answering machine or voice mail that lets you screen calls by playing the mp3 created by the caller’s message. Vonage is a great tool for the small business owner. Messages emailed to you to be deleted or played. Skype and other Web 2.0 technologies leverage choices to compress the most into the S-T frames in which you choose to work or to create.
Using Caller ID alerts if the call is from a client. If it is, you choose when to pick up the phone before your answering machine does or send voice mail.
Net based digital answering machine products that allow you to screen calls relieve you of the concern that "this call can really important." "Important" means that it's a call about someone close to you who's been injured, not your sister calling about her soccer game was called for rain. That's not important … during work time.
Tear yourself away from the need to answer the phone every single time it rings, learn how much more productive – and profitable – your work time becomes when your prospects hunt you[1]
Only if you must have a red line that only three people can use with strict rules of use. Enforce those rule by termination if violated!
