I'd like to dial it back 5% or 10% and try to have a vacation that's not just e-mail with a view.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every day, turn off your phone/email for some part of the day.
I literally have over a thousand emails in my inbox that need to be returned. I'm sure all of my friends and certain family members are like, 'Oh, look who got nominated for an Emmy and doesn't want to write me an email back!' I need a good few hours to just sit and get on the phone.
When you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails is a task, let alone surfing the web.
I don't use e-mail or u-mail or whatever it's called.
I love travelling with my laptop because I get a bit nervous if I can't access my e-mails.
I would really hate to have e-mail. It's bad enough with all the mail I get.
A five minute call replaces the time it takes to read and reply to the original email and read and reply to their reply... or replies. And I no longer spend 20+ minutes crafting the perfect email - no need to.
I learned not to confuse 'busy' with 'productive,' but I'm still far too addicted to email to resist its early-morning digital snuggles.
Dialing down is not an option for me.
E-mail is far more convenient than the telephone, as far as I'm concerned. I would throw my phone away if I could get away with it.
