Posted on by

I have come to the conclusion that although there is a lot about working at home that I just absolutely love, there are also some things that drive me crazy.

I was just reading an article at the New York Times about multitasking, and it made me think about how many tasks I am typically trying to accomplish at the same time.

I Just Fired the “You’ve Got Mail” Man – A Few Tips for Managing Your E-Mail

I’ll never forget the first time I was exposed to e-mail. I was a Junior in high school participating in a typewriting class. I was playing on the computer and clicked on an icon I had never seen before. “What’s this?” I asked my teacher. “Oh, that’s electronic mail…it’s a new thing, but no one uses it much”. A few years later, I finally figured out how to send and receive e-mail messages. I remember feeling almost giddy as I would hear the man say, “you’ve got mail”. “Yippie…I love mail!” I couldn’t wait for the next message from my … Continue reading →

Is there room in the modern boudoir for two lovers and a laptop? For some, the answer is an unequivocal no, but for others, well… wait a minute please.
