How to combine PROCESSING and DOING?
Marvin | Mar 12 2006
Hi, my work is most of the time at computer, and my InBox keeps receiving numerous e-mails as I am doing anything else. Many items from the InBox do require immediate attention and many are those 2-minutes stuff. But if I look at the new messages as they arrive, I end up on doing only that. On the other had, if I concentrane on doing smth from my next actions, InBox is getting bigger and bigger. And while many messages are important right now, many aren't and can wait. What is your experience? Thanks! 9 Comments

From what you're saying, there's a deeper organisational problem here. If that many developers need an answer from you every few minutes, they need to learn some independence. You can't allow yourself to become such a roadblock. They should, at least, have enough parallel activities that they can work productively for 2 hours without a response on any question they ask - even if that work is to find the answer for themselves.
