Picking things the night before sounds good - I did have one task that I wanted to get done yesterday, and I ended up doing everything else... So that advice sounds good.
But, this and some articles I just read, the four-hour-work-week, etc. that talk about not checking email often, I am not sure how that would work. I think if I checked email less often, people would call me on the phone more. As I am working for myself (and in "isolation" as the one commenter said), email is the primary means of communication with my customers, and I'd much rather have emails than phone calls.
not sure about cutting out the email thing
