I just wanted to let you know that I’m only checking my personal email once or twice a day now. I used to check it like a crack fiend, but decided that my time was worth more than that. I want to read your emails, and I will, but I just thought I better let you know that they’re being read at a different interval than before.
Email is a great tool, and I make a living, in part, because of email – but I’m reading it about twice a day now: morning and evening. If you don’t get a response soon enough give me a call. The phone is still an instant interrupter 🙂
Hmm. If only there were some means of communicating those important items that can’t wait on you to check your email. You know, some way of sending a message that would get there “instantly”. You could enhance it by adding the ability to tell if the person was there, so you could know if they got it right away or not. Like I could look at something, decide if you’re sitting at your computer or not and, based on that info, send you one of those fast messages or fall back to a phone call or something….
Welcome to the 90’s on your email handling, Randy 😉
