Limit Your Work Day

Consider thinking of your "work day" to include some personal projects before and after your officially scheduled paid work. For example, you could tell yourself "I work 7:30am to 7:30pm (even if your paid hours are 8:30 to 4:00.) Use the bookend time to do housework, grocery shopping, etc. Stop at the time you have assigned to then enjoy guilt free recreation and relaxation.

Delay a To-Do

To remind yourself of a task that should not be done until some time in the future, use either a task feature that can be dated ahead and/or email programs that allow you to delay an email to arrive until a specific date as a reminder to yourself. Some apps allow you to program a reminder for a time in the future when you will be ready to handle the task. This keeps your to-do list uncluttered.
