Getting Rid Of The Leaks…

So I work from my home office for a local University. My job requires that I use a email client that supports Exchange Server which my OS of choice does not support at the moment.

So I finally gave up trying to get Apple Mail to work with Outlook Web Access and just installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro using Bootcamp. At first it seemed like the perfect solution, I could install all the junk I needed for work on the Bootcamp partition and still enjoy the simple elegances of OS X.

But what I noticed is that after I installed Windows 7 I started installing a bunch of games to you know, help me unwind after work. I mean everybody needs a little a playtime after sweating over a burning hot keyboard all night… right? But what happened is that after making all these grandiose plans for world domination during my weekly review I was spending hours playing Topspin and Tiger Woods.

What was suppose to be a little fun turned into a big time leak.

So I deleted the Bootcamp partition and installed Entourage and guess what? I’m getting a lot more stuff done.

You can have the best plans in the world but if your not willing to get rid of the time leaks it may take you longer than necessary to actualize them.
