Avoid E-Mail Obsession

Video Transcript

"Ok, the next thing that you have to do is find a balance in checking the email. There are sometimes extremes on letting email run your life. Even if you know you're going to receive hundreds of emails every day, don't be so obsessed with it, don't get so caught up in it that all of a sudden email, checking email, responding to email becomes your life. Yes it's much much easier than telephone conversations, it's so much easier than so many things but don't become obsessed with it, don't let it run your life. In the same respect, don't ignore it, you never check your email and people can't get you on the phone so they've been sending an email and you don't check that. Find a balance and that balance includes not checking your email when you go on vacation. Everybody is entitled to a break every now and then, let it go, take a vacation. What you have to get good at is figuring out what takes priority and we're going to talk about that next."
