Donny defines interruption.

Just received an email from my good friend Donny Broussard. He's the editor of the online film review site KillerFilm.com and oversees film equipment for the University of Louisiana. As you might imagine, things can get pretty busy for Donny, so he decided to let everyone know how he defines interruption:

Greetings,

Due to high workload, I am currently checking and responding to e-mail twice daily at 12:00 P.M. CST and 4:00 P.M. CST.

If you require urgent assistance (please ensure it is urgent) that cannot wait until either 12:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M., please contact me via phone at 337-255-4769.

Thank you for understanding this move to more efficiency and effectiveness. It helps me accomplish more to serve you better.

Publicists and vendors feel free to email me any press release, screener announcement, interview opportunity, as well as any other request. My email comes to my phone and publicists are sorted so that I can get press releases to my staff immediately.

Sincerely,

Donny Broussard
Editor-In-Chief, Killer Film LLC

Pretty simple, really. Now he has the time to write, read and review for the site without feeling tied to email. He can turn off the interrupting "ding" on his email software and twice a day he can handle all of his messages.

What would your life be like if you checked email twice a day?
