A Blackberry is great for staying in touch but it is easy to become an addict and let it drive you to distraction. At worst you can end up reacting every time you get an email and not getting on with the work that grows your business/career/pay packet.
Here are some ideas I used for claiming my own life back.
Turn off all notifications for incoming email, including that flashing red light. (Profiles icon on the handheld > Advanced > Normal (Active)). Set all notifications to None and Mute except for phone calls.
- Set a time to check email two or three times a day.
- Encourage people in your company not to misuse email by cc:ing needlessly or emailing when a chat would do.
- Get your spam under control. About 80% of email these days is spam. ISN can recommend solutions to virtually eliminate spam from your mailbox and your Blackberry
