You should pause and question your communication assumptions and decisions. We lose so much time just going with the flow. We always do a meeting for this, so we'll keep doing a meeting. The conversation is already in email, so we're not going to switch to phone. The problem with that approach is that you often end up in the suboptimal choice of communication medium.

And when you actually stop and take a strategic approach to communication, Not only can you improve your productivity, you can improve your relationships, and you can improve your overall well-being because you can make yourself happier, you can disconnect more, and you can find ways to thrive in a world of communication overload.

When I was 16 years old, my life took a unexpected twist. So pretty much out of the blue, I started feeling sick and then I got sicker and sicker. And within a couple of weeks, I found myself in the emergency room. And at that point, the doctors ran some blood tests and based on how high my white blood cell count was, it was abundantly clear that I had leukemia.

And that proceeded a whole lot of treatments of chemotherapy, radiation, a bone marrow transplant. So from an early age, I got to have the experience of often having to interact with people from a distance because my immune system was really weakened.

When I was in for a bone marrow transplant, I was in one of those isolation rooms for over a month where people could only come in if they were wearing full gowns and masks and gloves. And luckily I survived. The treatment was very successful for me, but I was left with a side effect, a lifelong immune deficiency that has resulted in me also having to be a little bit more careful in many cases.

And in many instances, having to interact with others from a distance, whether because I'm sick or I'm concerned about others getting sick. And this really led to my interest in studying how do we interact with each other through communication technology? What's the best way to do it? How can we improve that?

So then when I began my PhD at Harvard Business School, I focused on that as my topic of study. And to me, it was just really interesting because it's such a dynamic topic because things are constantly changing, new technologies coming out.
