Had one of those days with emails flying in all day, reminders flashing and IM messages blinking so sought out a few articles which give great advice on ’zenning out’.
Tammy Erickson has written a great post about when not to speak. I agree with her point about keeping it simple but weeding out the ‘core’ message (as mentioned by Chip and Dan Heath in Made to Stick) from the detail can be hard to do.
Tabita has put together some fab tips on email management. I have to say I really like the idea of checking email a few times a day rather than having it on constantly.
Leo’s article about a minimalist computer experience definitely helps to keep a clear and focused mind.
Ohmmm…..
