Did you make a New Year’s resolution this year? Maybe you resolved to be more productive in 2016? If so, now is the time to cut as much dead weight from your business life as possible. The best part of doing this is that it doesn’t require active, ongoing work like most New Year’s resolutions. All you have to do is let go of a few distractions, and watch your productivity soar!

Do you really need to follow and interact with those who don’t add value to your social media stream? Absolutely not. Cut them loose! For that matter, if you have social media profiles that you’ve abandoned or use only rarely, get rid of those, too. Turning to your mobile devices, think about how many social messaging apps you have. Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Skype, Slack, iMessage, and more. How many do you really need?
