I have created the autoresponder for my email, too. I check mine once per day. You’re awesome!

I like the policy though!

I also picked up Rolf Potts book “Vagabonding” (which Tim recommends as a must read). It is equally inspiring.

Charity: heheheh, no worries…I didn’t take it too personally! ;)

Amanda: I checked out your website….what exactly is simple.ology? Wasn’t clear from the website and I didn’t want to put in all my info to get access before knowing what it is….thanks!

Down from 2-3 hours per day to around 30 minutes.

That’s a great book, isn’t it.

Which… is actually kind of pathetic… I made time for work but not friends… while on vacation?? SHOOT this makes me realize that I need to re-check my priorities!!! Anyways… long story short keep updating with your email policy… I’m kind of intrigued to try it myself!

Email can be a total waste of time. You can gain a lot more time cutting yours hours down on email. It is amazing.
