The phone is rarely important

January 18, 2012 / Dave Caolo

A nice post from Carl at Tech In The Trenches, posted as a follow-up to a recent episode of my podcast, 52 Pickup:

“The phone has trained us to heed its call immediately. The phone is rarely important. If someone needs to reach you that badly, the news will still be just as valid and timely if you get it 30 seconds later.”

Amen, brother!
