Public Sticky notes

To help people handle the information flow, Weil and Rosen offer some tips:

? Sift and trash?Try to focus on the information you really need instead of news blips that distract. Think critically and separate the gems from the dross.

? Set limits?Ration the time you spend watching television, listening to the radio and cruising the Internet. Designate the best times for people to call or fax you.

? Respond on your own time?Disable the e-mail ding and turn off the ringer on the fax machine. You can respond after you?ve finished the task at hand.

? Relax when technology makes you wait?Instead of getting irritated while your e-mail boots or a company?s telephone system puts you on hold, use that time to rest or tend to small tasks.

? Use the technologies that work for you?You don?t have to acquire every new technology. If beepers and cell phones cause you stress, stick with voice mail.

? Schedule time away from information?Set aside slots for exercise, sports, dinner with friends and family vacations.
