Bob Geldof on Email

I love what Sir Bob has to say about email. He’s so right. I mean, I like to stay in touch with friends and family and all, but email really does have to be one of the biggest time sucks out there. I’ve had so many mornings when I’m getting ready to edit pictures or do some real work, and then I’ll log on and find I have 30 new emails to deal with. It takes incredible willpower to put off dealing with them and to stay focused on what really needs to be done, especially since, as he suggests, email gives the impression that you’re getting things done, but you’re really not. So the question is, would the world end if I just stopped answering them? And I already don’t answer a lot of them! Well, I guess if it’s an email from a gorgeous woman whom I’d like to date, I’d probably answer it, though I don’t seem to get many of those ;-)
