“Back in the 1990s, I trained my friends and business associates to contact me via email, and I did that for one simple reason: Email didn’t distract me. I might check it ten times a day, but those would be times that I chose, not times which were thrust upon me and which interrupted my thoughts. I did that because I had earlier noticed how badly distractions and interruptions ruined my work, and I very much needed to remain productive in those years. For a long time, in the years before email, I worked at night and slept during the day, because it was worth it to think unobstructed thoughts. I got a lot more done. Obtaining this luxury is easy: Turn in your smart phone for an old-style flip-phone.” (05/14/25)
