Rule 2-2-2 for phone calls, SMS-ok and emails

Shenglong Gao, developer and consultant, came up with a rule 2-2-2 which it uses to handle incoming phone calls, messages and emails.

The essence of this rule is as follows: the incoming call to be answered in 2 seconds, ie, immediately and without delay call back later. To the received SMS reply relies for 2 minutes. Check and respond to emails he decided every 2 hours. So you prioritize communications channel system and do not delay urgent things for later. Shenglonga system echoes procedure GTD David Allen, namely that part of serving business performance lasting up to 2 minutes not delay and do not contribute to the Inbox, and to carry out immediately. Calls and SMSki just fall into this range.

Simple method solves this problem:

- you leave the phone a priority communication channel and are always available to him for supersrochnyh Affairs;
- you do not forget to watch SMS-messages and respond if necessary to them;
- you're not hanging around all day in the e-mail, and answer with a periodicity of not contradicting even the most obsessive correspondence office.
