5-Second Rule

I am totally ADD today. I just fed the cats out back, started to fold some laundry, made a cup of tea that I left on the kitchen counter, and then came in here to start tackling my email problem.

Truly, the tea should be in here with me, no?

I shouldn't be sitting here writing this. I should be tackling that email issue. The problem is that so many PR people write to me and it just clogs my email box. I can hardly see what's really important half the time.

I'm thinking about instituting a new, 5-second rule. If I look at your email for 5 seconds and it doesn't call out to me or I haven't gotten the point yet, then I'm just going to chuck it.

Life's too short.

Of course, I'm not talking about friends, family, etc. I have all those people filtered and color coded to grab my attention... I'm mostly just talking about PR. I'm so glad that's not the world I live in. I think I'd be a ball of stress every day.

Time to go get that tea... headache building.

Greatest thing that ever happened to email was "spam blocker" - I just happily tag as spam and move on, never to be bothered again :)
