This is actually a strange type of post to start with on this blog, but I thought it might be a good idea to share my thoughts with you.
Don’t you find all those interrupting phone calls annoying – you know, people who try to sell you stuff, and so on – while you should be focussing on getting your work done?
Well, I’ve decided to implement a new rule and will stick to it from now on. If I do not have a caller’s phone number in my address book, or if they call me from a “blocked” number, I will simply refuse to answer the call. Simple as that. If it’s important they can leave a voice message and I will call them back. However, if you are in my address book and I am available I will answer your call.
Of course my preferred method would be to make contact via email – that way I can read and reply when it is suitable for me. And these days I am only checking my email twice per day, so that also makes me a bit more productive.
Ok, I’ll have to get back to work now. I have two important projects I need to take care of today. Cheers
