It is very distracting from my writing, I sometimes feel as though I will never finish editing my second book, because all my time is spent checking my inbox! <br />My problem is I have two (my personal and my author email) and they're both linked to my phone, so each time I get a new message it buzzes beside me, and I can't help but look.<br />Thanks for the tips on allotting specific time to check messages. I will have to do that.<br />Now just to conquer my addiction to blogging/reading blogs when I should be editing, like uh...right now.<br />The Book Towerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290790480881467835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1139108380465924768.post-86213854596665358862012-10-06T22:01:20.460-04:002012-10-06T22:01:20.460-04:00Wonderful Post!

I read a blog/comment where someone suggested not checking email until at least lunch time each day - that seems like such a sensible thing to do, and makes space for writing in the mornings before the admin kicks in. Do I do it? Er... no, not yet, but I'm trying!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1139108380465924768.post-63654547108346671402012-10-05T17:28:41.175-04:002012-10-05T17:28:41.175-04:00Great post!

This year I was forced to have no internet connection at all for a few months, and I accomplished so much during that time that I feel I'm better at rationing my time not just with emails, but with the internet in general, since I've realized firsthand how distracting all that online stuff can be!Heather R.

I would open my Hotmail and my Gmail and leave them open so everytime I received an email I would go see it emideiately! xD Now I do have school so the habit has broken! :D Great tips Jade :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697830606828546000noreply@blogger.com
