Recently, with feelings of both joy and trepidation, I got a Blackberry for work. For two weeks after setting it up, I found myself pulling it out to check my email every time it vibrated. It didn’t matter if I was at a T-ball or soccer game, having dinner with friends, or brushing my teeth, my Blackberry would buzz and I’d bow to it. It was irresistible.
Yesterday, I figured out how to shut off the notifications for email. It’s the best thing I could have done. The machine is silent and I have peace.
Now, if I could just avoid that little flashing red light.
