Five minute increments

I've realized much of my time as of late has become dreaded 5 minute increments.

Time between meetings is scarse and chock full of interuptions. Each interuption seems to be spaced about 10 minutes appart and consumes roughly 5 minutes of time.

The net result of this leaves me gun shy to start anything of any significance at work. Documents written in 5 minute increments are disjointed and missing details, and don't get me started on code quality. I have an ever growing list of things to read, all are over a page in length - all are likely to take more than 5 minutes.

This must be why email is so rampant - most emails can be written, or read in 5 minutes or less.

I'v taken to opening things, mentaly estimating time to read and respond. If its greater than 5 I close it again.

Thanks for reading this far, if you we me, you'd have already moved it to the read later pile.

I think its time to go take a break. Back in five.
