When you put your phone in front of all other matters, you are always making decision to side track something else and as a result divide your attention and time, without focus, less is achieved. One thing I am constantly bewildered are the people who take calls in meetings and simply answer - "I'm in a meeting I can't talk, I'll call you later." Now what the hell does that give for the caller? Nothing but the time lost listening this fascinating information, in the mean time, meeting is also disturbed. I truly appreciate the people who can disregard incoming calls while in a meeting. It is a good test of character and makes me reassured that no matter in good or bad times I can trust them. Opportunistic behavior like trying to capture every chance that might give any benefit, in my mind, will lead into a relationship with doubts and dishonesty. Not that I'm criticizing you or saying this is what you are. This thought just popped into my head after I read how laser focused you are to stay available to others. Actually I would really appreciate it if I knew that I can always reach you with slightest effort. That makes you a go-to guy while looking for any kind of support.

It just that there always seems to be something that needs handling, following-up with or managed. It's not uncommon for me to get out of bed at 2AM because I just had a great idea for my next project. For this reason, I set absolutely no limits on when I do or do not answer the phone. On the toilet or in the shower - money never sleeps (at least, until you get electrocuted). <abbr><em>George Chernikov’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.georgechernikov.com/2009/03/02/split-one-product-into-two-and-make-double-the-mone/">Split One Product Into Two and Make Double the Money - It’s Magic, I’m Telling You!</a></abbr></em> Personally, I am addicted to all sorts of online communication devices.
