If I can answer the phone then can check emails too. Checking messages and voice messages in intervals is the best thing.

Very good tips.

I have found it necessary to manage the expectations of OTHERS because they won’t do it themselves. Eventually they get the message but it does take some doing sometimes.

At first they think you are just loafing but when they start to see your results come in on time and usually better than those they get (because you actually thought before you acted) they learn eventually.

Try letting people leave messages, and check your voicemail at frequent intervals, e.g. between tasks.

The only problem is, other people still phone up to ask “Did you get my email?”, usually within 5 minutes of sending it, or then following up with phone calls to see “How are you getting on with…”. – Maybe I should subtly pass on this post and see if they can figure out why I keep trying to get them to change their methods for themselves.
