I love your book! I am 52 years old and restructuring the two businesses that I run in your model. Question – my problem is not e-mail overload, but cell phone and telephone calls overload. When I answer the calls real time I get distracted from bigger projects and end up dealing with problem solutions and quick fixes all day. When I do not answer the phone I get complaints or emergencies that I should have taken care of. What can you suggest? I love the automatic notice re:email that one is checking only twice a day, but how can this be applied to telephone calls?

Thank you in advance,

Tim, if you read this. I would really like you to add a “print this” option for a printer friendly output. Many of these articles are a take home one or a recommend to others when they spend sometime at home (without the internet, yes that’s common here in India).

It would be really really helpful !

If you want the drop down menu bits to look better, change the top value in the css file to 361px (style.css, line 136).

I’d also personally change the nav (style.css, line 29) to have the following css properties:
border: 1px solid #999999;
padding-right: 10px;
width: 888px;

This would however mean you’d need to use a new image for nav_hover_bg2.png. Fortunately, I’ve mocked up the one you’d need to preserve the look and feel of the current one at http://www.crossdrivenlife.com/nav_hover_bg2.png

Hope you like the end result. It’s just a little neater and tidier.
