Hi, Mark - excellent time management post with some fresh thinking around how to deal with what we incorrectly perceive as a "lack of time".  It's all about choices.

I was particularly interested in your points around technology use.  In a recent Tweetchat with leadership folks, the issue arose of whether technology enhances or diminishes our interactions and activities.   The discussion was all over the place and the verdict somewhat mixed, but I did get a sense that technology USE is the issue, rather than the technology itself and that is also what I am getting from your points.

Balance sounds interesting and I will check it out.   As for email, I have several accounts and, in order to maintain my sanity, am already striving to let them sit.  I experience much better ability to go through emails quickly, make immediate decisions regarding what to keep and what to delete, and generally save time and energy when I do many emails at one sitting several times a day, rather than the "death by a thousand small cuts" approach of trying to stay on top of the flow all the time all day long.

Appreciate your useful comments:)

John
