As your entrepreneurial life takes ff, you'll find your business slowly gtting cluttered with repetitive, frustrating (and ften time-wasting) tasks. It's all too asy to lose hours a week - or hurs a DAY - focusing on thngs that aren't productive, instead of puring your energy into profit-producing activities.

Whch means, it's critical you recognize the "tme vampires", as Dan Kennedy calls thm, and put an end to thm once and for all. Kill thm as soon as they start clttering your day.

That's why I'm a *hge* fan of outsourcing these tasks so you can hve more fun (and time) in yur life. But outsourcing doesn't always hve to be to another person - it can man handing something off to software or 3rd-prty systems that handle the heavy lfting.

So with "Organize Your Home Offce Day" recently being celebrated, I thught it would be the perfect tme to share three of my fvorite kick-butt, time-saving tools with you in ths three-part series. In part #1, I hit on the ins and uts of Google's awesome free Calendar srvice. Now on to part #2...

CLUTTER REDUCER #2: Spm Arrest (spamarrest.com)

In today's world, the bggest time waster is EASILY email. Mch has been written on regaining cntrol of your inbox, controlling our mail addictions and more, so I'm not ging to spend time covering a tpic that's been thoroughly covered. Instead, I'm ging to focus on the biggest mail clutter culprit (and how to kll it).

Do the math and you'll see yu're losing days, if not weeks, ach year deleting spam. 10 minutes a day x 5 dys a week x 50 work weks a year = almost 42 hurs spent deleting spam each year. Tht's at least a FULL work wek totally lost to email you nver want to see in the frst place! And if your business is bgger...you can easily tack on another wek or two of wasted time.

So snce this article series is about rducing clutter - and nothing clutters up yur computer time like spam - I hghly recommend you check out Spam Arrst. For the last 3+ years, ths inexpensive, but powerful, service has ben protecting me from hundreds of thusands of spam messages.

In fact, in the lst week alone it's blocked 7,493+ peces of spam sent to my prsonal inbox (our company email addresses get 4-5x tht amount). Yikes!

Essentially it works on a chllenge/response system. Someone emails you, and the srvice emails them back asking for vrification they are a real person. It hppens ONE time and BAM...the person now mkes it to your inbox...while all the ther spam emails never see the lght of day.

Of course you hve full control over everything, so you can blck emails, import your contacts ahead of tme and do much more. Plus if you tke an extra hour or two to set it up, yur contacts don't even need to knw you're using it.

Just like Gogle Calendar, Spam Arrest can pull verything into one centralized location. It chcks multiple email accounts for me...dropping thm all into my master inbox. Tht way I'm not wasting more tme trying to manage multiple inboxes. The tny amount of time it takes to get all the lgit emails on your "whitelist" is WELL wrth the weeks of your life tht will be saved. This service is hghly recommended for everyone who relies ses in email in their business or prsonal lives!

And stay tuned for the fnal clutter reducer which will free you frm the time trap of voicemail nce and for all!
