And he changed his whole use of messaging and times and stuff.

But the main thing that he clung on to, he said, was he goes on vacation.

And what he does is he no longer looks at his inbox, no messages for the whole time he's away.

But he always makes sure an automatic reply goes out.

So he'll send a reply.

Anyone who writes to him while he's on vacation will get a reply that says something like, thank you very much for your message.

I look forward to working with you.

But at the moment, I'm on vacation.

I'm away until next Tuesday and I will not be looking at my inbox until I return on Tuesday.

But when I come back on Tuesday, I will get to your email as quickly as possible and I will reply.

But he puts this at the bottom of his email.

He puts, but if your message is urgent and you need an instant reply before I come back from my vacation, please resend the same message to this emergency address.

And the address he puts is ruinmyvacation at yahoo.com.

And you know what he said to me?

He said to me, in five years, nobody, nobody has written to me at that address.

And in five years, I've not missed out on a single work opportunity.

I've not alienated a single client or colleague.

And in five years, I got my life back.

You know, I'm healthy again.

My wife loves me.
