@ Dennis: I knew I missed something. Thanks to our readers here we have a more complete picture now since your tip is actually a very important one too.

Come to think about it, I should have thought about chat since I do get distractions frequently because i forget to set my skype to busy or not available.

Thanks for adding this.

Dear Alex, you missed a BIG one…..I N S T A N T M E S S E N G E R.

This can be 10fold worse then even the dreaded email (which I do keep open). Some can chat and work without losing thought…I’d bet most can’t.

If I am working something tedious, or the thought just isn’t there, I’ll take a 10 minute “break” and download some email.
