Can This Wait?

Being guilty of procrastination myself, I found this piece from the Wall Street Journal online to be timely. I like this quote:

For Mr. Kedrosky, it's all part of "this nagging suspicion that a lot of the things that I get asked to do I don't actually have to do." He's particularly wary, he says, because the advent of e-mail means that managers no longer have to look you in the eye when they tell you to do something, allowing for the rise of what he calls "drive-by obligations."
