I'm Tweeting

I created a Twitter account awhile back (gwiley72), but didn't really get into it at first.  So I'm giving it another go around.  I've heard others talk about the benefits of "tweeting" amongst peers, so I'll give it a go.  I can see the benefit of being able to put out a short message about something you're working on and if someone following you has some information it could save some time/pain.  My concern is that it's yet another distraction to keep me from getting real work accomplished.  I'm one of those people that can't stand to have more than a couple of unread email messages in my Inbox, so I've had a hard time developing the discipline to check my email less frequently (yes, I know you can still be responsive and not answer every message immediately).  I'll just have to figure out the best way to incorporate this into my daily routine without getting too overly concerned about how fresh my status is :)

Email discipline

I have much trouble trying to NOT check my email. I have set times now to check and respond and it's helped with my work flow, and I'm still complimented often on how responsive I am. I've realized the acceptable time frame for email response is 24 hours or less. I try to stick with 4-6 hours for most.

@Email discipline

Yeah, I think most people are happy to get a response by the next business day.  I've found that checking my email at a few specific intervals during the day increases my productivity.  I don't lose focus on the task at hand by bouncing back and forth between different concerns.
