People always think the other person will take care of it, and neither do. But do you ever get resentment aimed at you when two people realize they both did the same favor for you?

You are pretty thought provoking. A post about negative sides and addictions to networking sites would be interesting. Great blog! You are pretty thought provoking.

This article helped me to reinforce this feeling. While its quite hard to me to forget about email ( by just batching once a day) I'll add email alerts to my life and close Gmail. By knowing when I do actually get new mail I'll cut off most of the time I waste checking without sense. I also use Gmail for mobile, and check email on my commute time. Suggestion: Leave your inbox clean: when you read a message organize it (Gmail with labels and filters are really great), then archive it so you can have always your inbox clean. I don't work for google, I'm just a fan of it. I feel I’m wasting a lot of time checking email. This article helped me to reinforce this feeling.
