Thankfully (or maybe not) the addiction is to email and not alcohol.<BR/><BR/>I did a complete email shut down during last year's week long vacation. And believe me, it was very very difficult. By the third day, the withdrawal symptoms (yes, that exists) were so strong, that I almost succumbed. I can't believe that instead of enjoying the wonderful sea and exquisite cuisine, all I kept thinking about was work email!<BR/><BR/>PS - Coincidental, but pleasant is the fact that I am reading this post on the first Saturday that I have started my weekend email shutdowns (yay).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313195494944332497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-79248117349696661352009-02-28T08:13:00.000+05:302009-02-28T08:13:00.000+05:30Good idea ignoring the ccs.Being an All Black is a...Good idea ignoring the ccs.<BR/><BR/>Being an All Black is all fine, but supporting the kiwis in cricket is heresy.

If I'm cc'd or bcc'd I know it is nice to know stuff. The addressee marked 'to' will deal with it. I open the LBW folder at the end of the day, glance at the latest email trail on each subject , delete and this process takes me between 90 and 180 seconds . Believe me, it has added back about 30-45 minutes a day.<BR/>Cheers <BR/>Kiwibloke.<BR/>PS: to all the others on this forum, the good old kiwi team is unravelling India in the cricket field. GO!

I have an advice for all those addicted to Blackberry: your smart phone allows you to <B>switch off the data communication</B>. :)<BR/><BR/>Regarding time management, I recommend Steven Covey's excellent book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", which describes key steps to cope with above described problem. I have seen it in one of the bookstores in Bangalore couple of weeks ago.<BR/><BR/>PS. Ramesh, <I>"It ain't the same anymore"</I> is my favorite so far. Shall you decide to write a book some day, please do it that way. I bet it’s going to sell like hotcakes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
