Thanks for listening Evan! I don’t necessarily think that “shiny object syndrome” as you describe it is a bad thing. Learning about the new tools and apps add value to your skills and business. Maybe it’s just a matter of channeling that desire?

For example, at 3.7 we try and reserve one day a week for working on the business itself. If you were to record the tools and apps you come across and then spend a single day researching them you might get the same benefit without it effecting your productivity throughout the week.

I agree that e-mail is a huge productivity killer, I’ve had some success with filters and templates. Hope you can figure out what works for you!

Thanks for sharing, Ross. I think the #1 thing killing my productivity is definitely the “shiny object syndrome.” I’m pretty new to WP and web dev in general, so every new tool or app I come across, I will at least learn a little bit about, just in case it might be useful at some point. I also really need to streamline my email and add some filters to help prioritize my communications.
