We have the total accessibility, and stop our principle "anytime, anywhere, anyone" , add a selective accessibility with the guiding principle "sometime, somewhere, someone" . [1]
Therefore the following principles are taken to heart:
- Take your freedom, not to be available, if you do not want to be disturbed!
- All units have a power button. Use it!
- Turn off any signal that announces a new message - whether it is all sound-cascade, a beep or a visual signal! Only then is it possible to bypass the Pavlovian reflex.
- Edit messages in blocks of work and avoid getting media breaks!
- Say response times from before! Rarely, it is necessary immediately respond to a message. In business, you have to answer to, say, 24 hours, an e-mail. [2]
- do not expect others to respond to messages just as fast as you yourself!
- Unlock your phone in meetings, or mute!
- Use your cell phone during an interview!
retrieve e-mails:
E-mails should not be loaded automatically, but at fixed times 2-3 times a day retrieved manually. Messages should not be in between, but always following an activity that can be read at longer intervals. Sun circumvents the so-called contingency [3] when messages are processed in parallel to core tasks.
The former IBM executive Dan Russell ends his emails with the words: "Read your mail just twice a day. . Get your life back and learn to dream again, "He thus a new movement has brought to life - the slow email movement.
