Hello All!

Like many of us, I increasingly find my attention being pulled in different directions during the day by those familiar demons: gmail, slack, imessage, etc. Given the science on multi-tasking is very clear—it may make us feel productive, but that’s just an illusion—I’m working on being more deliberate in my handling of emails by only handling most emails during one or two dedicated blocks of time per week.

My hope is that this will make me a better friend/colleague, but it does mean letting go of the norm of responding to e-mails incredibly quickly, so I am putting this in my signature just to give everyone a heads up!

Thank you for your understanding,

Nick
