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

 Guys, it is not that...Submitted by Marvin on March 13, 2006 - 11:34pm.
Guys, it is not that bad! If I don't reply for an hour, nobody just sists around waiting. Every developer is smart enough do find smth. else or to go with a workaround. But you probably underestimate, how E-Mail is used in a software-development team. If a person dosn't read e-mail for an hour, he/she is out of the context. E.g. - everybody suddenly starts laughing. You are sitting like an idiot and understand nothing. They are laughing about a mail forwarded to everybody this minute. » POSTED IN:
