Too much: war, travel, email
8 10 2001… so let me start mid-sentence, because although this is the beginning of my Daily Me, it picks up in the middle of a story about e-mail, babies, war and travel.
E-mail: I get too much. I can’t keep up. I have more than 1,000 undread from sources I’ve requested – newsletters, discussion groups, etc., and I’m never going to read them. What critical information have I missed?
Babies: Jenny is due any day now. We thought it was happening Saturday night, but the strong contractions faded away.
War: We’re in one, bombing Afghanistan yesterday and today in retaliation for the Sept. 11 World Trade Center/Pentagon attacks. Strange time to focus on babies and e-mail.
Travel: I was in Florida last week for one of my convergence seminars, during which I teach media executives that media companies are getting bigger and accumlating “assets” across multiple platforms, and that the days of the single-platform newspaper or TV company are numbered, we’re all multi-tasked, multi-platform consumers. Or so the story begins. I’m glad I made it back from Florida before the baby was born.
