I have loved this thread about using the "black thing" on your desk for private conversations and taking a walk down the hall (or into the next cubicle) to get a little fresh air and spend less time emailing. These were points I stressed (along with my IT sidekicks) when doing email management management training earlier this year with staff. Don't know how much it helped. But sure got a few snickers and light bulbs going off when the slide came up saying "Try some 'old' technology". Now all I have to do is practice what I preach!
