Does your smartphone force you to double process your mails???

I’ve got Nokia E71 with mail functionality that I have never configured. My smartphone is my tool – not my master. A person that really needs my immediate response can call me.

Double processing of my mails + risk to forget to reply because they are marked as read even on my PC + I’m never fully present / always connected.

A man and a women having dinner without talking and with a smartphone in their hands is pretty sad…

It’s not about over-demanding bosses. It’s about the cost of not having time off.

FWIW, I think the greater loss of productivity for me is that I tend to read email messages on my phone, but wait to respond to most of them until I am back at my computer. That means I process them twice – if I remember to. That and the constant distraction of the phone keeping me from being fully present wherever I am….

Is your shovel making you less productive? Yes – if your boss expects you to dig the second Panama Canal tomorrow…
