OMG! I'm an old dog who only recently learned this trick. I started my professional career in 1989 as a reporter — BEFORE email. The daily deadlines meant calling people back immediately. Then instantly responding to what your editors, peers or sources wanted. I couldn't break that habit after 19 years. It's only been in the last couple of years that I have started waiting to respond to emails. Scheduling the time is what I need to do. That way I can do a better job of completing tasks without the distractions. Thanks so much for sharing.
