A quick post today. I just read an article on Forbes magazine about being addicted to your cell phone.
I have to admit, I am, only because I enjoy staying in touch with people. However, I hate phone calls, I let almost EVERY phone call go to voicemail, unless it is my wife, or a phone call I have expected from somebody that *I* deem important.
One of the most important lessons in Lifestyle Design is to realize that YOU OWN your time. I tend to take voicemails, and respond in emails. I find emails much less intrusive into my time, and it is much easier for me to control the conversation. The only time I truly return a phone call immediately is if I deem necessary due to it being an emergency of some sort. Remember, most emergencies aren’t really emergencies at all, when I say emergency, I mean, somebody is about to die in the hospital emergency.
