Increase productivity by turning off IM
July 19th, 2010 | Published in Tips&Tricks
Some time ago, when I first discovered multi-protocol instant messaging softwares I was really excited. Digsby for instance allows you to chat with tons of other applications protocols, even facebook; It also provides instant notifications of email messages.
The downside of all of this, is a great loss of time and concentration. I used to think “Okay, but if someone contacts me, I will just avoid replying” -> liar! I was replying to chat and emails all the time and this is extremely unproductive if you have to work all the day at your pc.
Invisible or busy state are just useless, the real solution is to turn it all off!
Good work!
