I just read a great article titled "Driven to Distraction"in the Sunday newspaper by Betty Lin-Fisher about the common distractions in the work place.

I know that I get somewheres up to 200 messages each day and very seldom to I get a message that I need to respond to right away. I recently told my boss that I'm not reading email during the day, so if he needs something, just walk over to my office. What I end up doing is spending a little time in the evening triaging my emails looking for anything that needs a response and using the first hour of my morning work composing the responses. After one month of this behavior, I feel as if I've taken my life back. David Anderson in his recent ventures at the Lean Design and Development conference discovered an even better way of getting email under control within a group - check out his posting of - Oobeya eliminates email deluge.
