It’s ironic how the tools that are supposed to enhance our lives start controlling it.

I don’t any problem associated with the connecting devices because… I don’t have any connecting devices. Aside from my cell phone, that is. Which works as a phone and that’s it can do. No camera, no nuttin’.

To ensure I don’t get interrupted all the time and maintain my focus, I turned off the automatic download of my emails in Outlook. I have a specific time slot - or slots - just for emails.

Next step will be to have a specific time slot to return my voice mails.

My experience is that highly efficient people don’t have - nor do they need - any gadgets. So let’s learn from them.

-Alex
