Don’t be a slave to the Send/Receive button.
Discipline yourself to get work done, rather than allowing yourself to be sucked into the email vortex for four hours. Forward your voice mail when you need some time to concentrate. Set your IM on “do not disturb” while you finish up an article. People are not going to die if they can’t reach you for an hour. Those are expectations you are placing on yourself, rather than others placing them on you.

Hey me… Do you have a reputation of exceptional organization, follow-up, and time management? Are people afraid to send you email, because you never respond to them? Is your desk a virtual black hole, where something coming in never goes out? Does it take you thirty minutes to find something, and do you complain when someone else can’t find it in thirty seconds?
