		<description><![CDATA[You can balance your basic checkbook using Excel if life is simple.  It&#8217;s just you.  It works.

		<description><![CDATA[Now that you&#8217;ve eliminated a lot of junk email by unsubscribing relentlessly, filtering routine and unimportant messages, and sorted through your back log of messages, the next tactic for further reducing your email volume is to communicate more succinctly with better closure.
Instead of responding to each email, consider how you can create a situation where [...]]]></description>

First I tracked the number of phone calls, interruptions, and emails I had to deal with to get a baseline.

		<description><![CDATA[Ideally meetings only take place when participants absolutely need to exchange information, they start and end on time, and an agenda is always prepared (and adhered to).
Notes to take in meetings include who is present, who is assigned to do what and by when, and key points.  I handwrite them rather than typing.

		<description><![CDATA[While very powerful, email can be a little too convenient for some.  The advantage of email is that it does not require a real-time response like phone calls and instant messaging. 
So turn off any alarms or buzzers that let you know when messages arrive.  In fact, don&#8217;t let your email client automatically check mail.  It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
