So, here is a productivity tip to people that seem to live in their inbox...

I have had my mail client to check for email every minute... Therefore, whenever someone sent me an email, I got it almost instantly. The problem is, I check the email as soon as it shows up in my inbox... I am usually working on something at the time. So, I am working, then I see a new email and I check it... Then, I either answer that email right then (stopping whatever I needed to be doing in the first place) OR I would read it and decide to answer it later... which I would not do.

I found that after setting my mail client to check for mail every hour instead of every minute, I was more productive, not being inturrupted by the red number by my email icon... So now I check/reply to email hourly instead of sparatically throughout my work day.

It is all about productivity... and for some reason, it makes me happy.
