WordPress 2.6 recently came out and I decided to install it last night using simple scripts. For some reason there was an error and I was unable to install. I tried several times, and eventually realized it wasn’t gonna work. Luckily, Bluehost has great chat support and they were able to fix the problem for me. Not only did they do the installation and fix the problem (which included deleting about 10 large backup files over 7gb each), but also apologized for the length of time it was taking and kept me informed of the progress the whole time. Great service usually doesn’t come with a cheap price so i am quite impressed. At this point hopefully there are no more problems.

How many of you do the following:

-check e-mail first thing when you wake up and several times a day and last thing before you go to bed

-surf the internet into the late hours of the night or morning

-read a several blogs a day as well as current news

-multi-task everything that you do

-feel that the number of things you have to do constantly increases and you have less time than ever

As the amount of information continues to increase we are taking in more than ever. We spend most of our time glued to a little box and always feel that there is never enough time and we can’t get enough done.

There is a really simple solution that can give back a lot of your time and make you a happier person….STOP. Go cold turkey for a week and don’t check e-mail, blogs, or any online newsarticles. Don’t even surf the web. Do it for one week and you will realize that the world doesn’t end. It just gets better.

When you go back to reading, set allotted times. Only check e-mail twice a day, for an alotted time. Maybe 30 minutes each time you check. Take a look at your blogs. Do you really need to read them or do you just read them becuase you feel you have to. The best way to save time is to get rid of the things you don’t need.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes. Getting away from the technology and freeing up time is a great feeling. Now you just have to decide what you will do with the extra time.
