A few days ago I announced AwayFind. That was the technology. But that’s less than half the story to killing email interruptions.

It’s 4pm, and I could use a nap. B-bye.

There’s a formula for change that I’ve come across in the past year: embrace people with diverse and seemingly extreme views.
Someone a couple steps ahead might bring you forward a few inches. Someone a mile in the distance can change your life.

The following is a short video that explains why I created AwayFind (and touches on how to batch your email). I delivered this as a presentation to the School of Blogging Conference in Chicago (under the parameters of 20 slides presented in 5 minutes). I hope you’ll enjoy this, and will participate in the private beta. Feel free to skip to 0:42 for the meat of the presentation…
