This weekend, my sorority's executive board decided to meet an hour earlier to discuss the upcoming semester. When our advisor asked why she hadn't been informed, we told her that we had emailed her the day before. Her response? "I don't check my email after Friday at 5."
Is she bonkers, or is she on to something? My initial response was "What?! But you even have a BlackBerry!" In a world where people rely on reading the text (email, text messages, etc.) written by those closer ones more than hearing their voice, how do you avoid reading your emails and survive?
However, she could be on to something. My email (through the wonder of the BlackBerry), is constantly connected to me; I constantly feel like I want to have a breakdown.
Maybe the key to escaping from media clutter is to create a rule, whether it's not checking email on the weekend or turning your phone off for an hour on Sunday.
