[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the woman who is in 70% meetings for her work-day, you need to set aside time for addressing emails that is not in a work setting.  If you have to, put an hour on the calendar every day when you take care of such business.   [/quote]

This really is the solution.  I took a recent time management class, and you should be scheduling time to read and respond to email in your schedule, and then stick to it.  Checking your e-mail while you're also doing other work (particularly work that requires thinking and analytical skills) is counterproductive.  Schedule in three to four 15-minute blocks during the day when you're going to read and respond to e-mail.  You can even add in an auto response on your e-mail that lets people know that "I check e-mail periodically during the day; if this is an emergency, please [call me/contact my AA]"

Also, if you're legitimately doing research, etc. that is related to the meeting itself, wouldn't it be more useful and less alienating to have a computer with a projector screen so that [i]everyone[/i] can see, for example, the Twitter account?  Or send an assistant out of the room to do the research requested?[/quote]
