Episode Summary: Junk Mail & Telemarketers
To avoid telemarketers we can use caller id and not answer calls from out of state or numbers that we do not recognize. With junk mail we can ignore the letter and immediately filter it into the garbage without wasting another minute.

- Have a plan
- Reward focus
- Set limits
- Reinforce your why
