Description:
Are you reading this on a Sunday, while listening to voice mail and checking e-mail? Today's technology allows us to conduct business anytime and anywhere -- but prevents us from shutting the office door. The problem isn't the laptops, cellphones, and other gear, but how we've become captives of the technology. Turn It Off shows wired workers how to regain control and obtain a sense of balance between the very real demands of today's business world and personal need to get -- and really live -- a life.

Turn It Off teaches how to use the "100/60/0" model, for instance, for balancing time and work -- a method to help you figure out when you'll be "on" and available to the office 100 percent of the time, versus being available part of the time or not at all.
Mobile office technology expert Gil Gordon tells how to manage e-mail and voice mail so it doesn't control us, and suggests ways of getting your boss or clients to respect your new work routine. Gordon gives workers practical solutions for letting go without losing credibility, reputation, or their jobs! In the end, setting limits on the virtual office benefits everyone -- employees, companies, and customers.
