Email is a great way to waste time and avoid responsibility. Think about it – how often do you use email to avoid doing something or push the responsibility to someone else ? Take a look around the office – how many of those ‘busy’ individuals are just busy doing nothing ?
So here’s a challenge – for one day only forget about email. Answer every question you receive by email with a phone call. Even better – go and talk to the person face to face. You will probably be surprised how much this personal interaction improves your productivity – and if it works for one day why not try it more often.
Email is great for communicating complex data or visual imagery but is no substitute for a conversation.
