There Can Be Too Much Communication

How often do you check your email, internet fax, and voicemails? I thought so. We live in a constantly connected world where you are probably thinking of checking it right now as you are reading this post considering that I have just reminded you that you need to get back to answering all those emails and meticulously going through them. Well hold on a moment. There is a spectrum here, Some people treat email like a constant stream of communications that they let go and only answer when they can without necessarily answering every one of them. On the other hand, there are some that let it pile up higher and higher until they just decide to delete it all and start fresh. Both ideas seem like the perfect way to slow down productivity and put a damper on your business. These communication services were meant to improve life and not destroy it. The first thing to do is to shut off those notifications and only check email three times a day. No more. Another solution is to use Unroll.me to unsubscribe from those emails that you constantly get and never get around to reading. Happy communicating!

  2. I would love to shut off the phone services just for a day. Even over the weekends, business professionals have to be able to be reached.

  3. Unified communications allow for a message to get to you the quickest way possible. You will be able to get phone service messages over email.

  4. You should first of all turn off all those notifications for your mobile applications. No one really likes the constant dinging of your phone.
