It's a little scary how

It's a little scary how much more I'm getting done in the mornings now that I've stopped checking my email every ten minutes. It's even scarier what I had to do to make myself stop: every morning when I sit down to write, I have to unplug from the network completely and physically move my network adapter to the other side of the room. Otherwise I kept plugging it back in. But if I have to actually get up and go get it... well, that's too much work.

It's amazing what we have to do break bad habits, eh? I'd fallen into the trap of popping open Outlook or IE every time I had a momentary blockage. Stopping that has nearly doubled my productivity, I think. Not a bad trade off.
