Great article from one of my friends shared Google items on controlling the "efficiency tool" that is email:
http://lifehacker.com/357666/how-to-stop-checking-email-on-the-evenings-and-weekends
It is a quaint and totally impossible plan to implement without getting the shakes, cold sweats and convulsions.
Funny though how some managers actually equate productivity with email volume. By this logic we should all have a dashboard that measures our email sends. I will need toread up on mass email marketing strategies to have any hope of career advancement... Maybe I need to hire someone in the Ukraine to create a ryan johnson email-bot
Email is also the soap box of the modern office...even the shy types can get in on the office politics from the safety of their cube. I wonder how many office coups are coordinated by Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis? Maybe MSFT should create an advertising campaign touting this fact... "Microsoft Outlook: ensuring that management lives in fear since 1997"
ok I need to check my 3 email accounts...maybe, just maybe someone has sent me mail...
