For instance, I have about 7 different email accounts, but they all go to one place. Having multiple gathering points dramatically increases the amount of switchtasking a person does. The trick is scheduling a regular time to check and process email that makes sense for the demands of your work and personal life. My schedule may not work for everyone, but the principle is the same. If there is an expectation from other that you check your email in the evening, then you either need to have a regular time to check it, or adjust the expectations fo others.

It is a small book and a quick read. Hope that helps! P.S. Budgeting regular time in your calendar for your r"ead and review" list makes a big difference! @ whozep68: I advocate that if my clients have multitple email accounts, they have only one inbox.

I'll add this to the list. Actually, I'm learning to do this more and more in my life. God, family, vocation. It has to be that way or life just doesn't work.
