It is not a Capital Offence to not Answer the Phone

It is not a capital offence to not answer the phone.How many times
have you been doing an important task, when suddenly the phone
rings . You answer it, only to discover it is a telemarketer. It is almost
like we are Pavlov's dogs. We are conditioned to answer the phone, no
matter what we are doing.

When it comes to time management, the phone is a double edged
sword. The phone can save our time or eat up our time. So lets add
some discipline in our lives by using the phone as a time saving tool.
Don't worry if you do not answer, The N.S.A. will not call the F.B.I to
come kick down your door.

You can make the phone really productive if you only answer it ,when
it is convenient for you. Next time you are doing something important, do
not stop to answer the phone. Even better never answer the phone and
return all your calls 1-3 times a day.You can use your answering machine
like a secretary. Busy executives never answerer the phone, so why should
you?

Don't worry about friends and family, you can train them to leave messages.
If it is an emergency, you can make an exception and return the call
immediately. Teenagers can afford to be on the phone all day long, adults
can't. Use the phone as a tool. Do not become it's slave.The phone can be a time
saver or a time taker. It is entirely up to you.
