Email and Blackberry Efficiency Tip: Set electronic boundaries

We all know that productivity and efficiency involves setting boundaries.

Just because the Blackberry allows us to be connected 24/7 doesn’t mean we should. One of the battery saving features of BBs can enable our setting those boundaries. You can set your device to automatically shut down at specific times and turn itself back on. This feature was set up to save battery life, but you can use it to enforce your boundaries, too. To do so, go to your device’s icon screen and click the Options icon. (It looks like a wrench.) Then click Auto On/Off, select whether or not settings should apply to weekdays, weekends or both, and choose stop and start times.

I’m sure there are simlilar settings for other smartphones… I just happen to be a Blackberry user.

So, if you can’t set your own boundaries, how about allowing your phone to do it???!!!
