Otherwise I ignore emails and ignore calls. On my phone I leave a message which says:"I answer my messages between 9:30 and 10am and 4:30 and 5 pm please specifiy the time which is most suitable for me to call you back"If you want to get anything done well you need focused attention. I've talked a couple of multi millionaires and they don't even own cell phones for this reason. I just set aside a specific time of the day to check emails and calls.

How many days have flown by where you finish your last email reply, checked the blogs you follow, return a phone call or two, and find that you already missed lunch.Somthing I have found that work for me in scheduling me week out in advance. I dedicated blocks of time to specific tasks, and make sure I stay on task and do not exceed the time alotted. ie, monday from 9-11, I catch up on the blogs I follow, from 11-12 I read and reply to email. If there is more email than I can get to in 1 hour, ot has to wait until my next scheduled email check at 4.This is the only way I have found to stay focused on what is in front of me. If I dont do this, I find myself jumping between 20 tasks at once and not doing any of them very well. just 2 cents for ya Time management is so essential today in running a business.
