I came across this old post by Nielsen on business email and information pollution. Well
worth (another) read. His six points:
- Don’t check your email all the time.
- Don’t use “reply to all” when responding to email.
- Write informative subject lines for your email messages.
- Create a special email address for personal messages and newsletters.
- Write short.
- Avoid IM.
On the cost of interruptions in a knowledge worker’s day:
A one-minute interruption of your colleagues will cost them ten minutes of productivity as they reestablish their mental context and get back into “flow.”
Other good links:
- The high cost of interruptions from Joel Spolsky
- The value of alone time (the “FOF” flag) from Signals Vs. Noise
