don't care about productivity. enjoy your freedom. and focus on making your product smaller, to deliver faster with less work.

I went through the same exercise about a year ago, although I kept my employer ;) My list:
* GTD - saved my life * No longer hosting my own Exchange server - Gmail is free and better * No longer hosting web site at home - have a nice friend who hosts me for free * Read personal email once or twice a day, quite easy with the work schedule I have * Read blogs once a day at most * Skipped bulky lunches * General analysis of my time if it takes more than an hour and I'm not being paid for it then I have to ask myself if it is worth me doing it, or paying someone else.

@Rob: Thanks for the tips. I am a huge fan of GTD and have been regulary using it. I am trying to outsource everything I can. The opportunity cost lost by trying to do everything on my own is huge. It's better to focus on what I can do best and outsource everything else.
