How many times must I tell you, grasshopper? You'll never get anything done if you continue to watch Youtube and read emails . A study was done, tabulating the amount of time we spend on email, which roughly came to 18 hours, 37 minutes, or 67% of our day, minus time for eating Cheez-its. Though, frankly, I can eat Cheez-its and read email simultaneously. I'm gifted that way.
I can eat Cheez-its and watch Youtube, too. In fact, I'm getting crumbs all over myself right now, watching From the Typewriter to the Bookstore: A Publishing story. You shouldn't be fooling around, watching this video, if you ever want to get published. But the video is from Macmillan...
So go ahead and watch, grasshopper. But stay away from that inbox. And put away those Cheez-its.

If I don't read my E-mail, how will I ever be able to help the son of the African military leader whose father was killed? Now, the son must find a kind American to help him get $3,000,000,000,000 out of Nigeria by Tuesday. If the son of the deceased military leader would only post his story on You Tube, I'm sure he would be able to get the help he needs. Maybe You Tube viewers would even send him some Cheez-its!
Not if they're like me. Nobody gets my Cheez-its. (You'd think we've mentioned Cheez-its enough to get a free box. Oh, I'll go check my email now!)
I'm glad to see you're eating real Cheez-its and not trying to convince yourself that the other brand is just as good. Hmm-maybe Joey was really smarter than you give him credit for!
HAHAHA! You have an AMAZING memory!
I see nothing wrong with a healthy YouTube habit. lol
(Who am I kidding?)
Oh, your videos are always worth the two minutes of my day!And by the numbers you're getting, I'd say lots of Youtube viewers agree.
Very good post! I have found myself munching on Cheez-Its and checking email. It seems like if I don't do the email I get behind on following up on business stuff and miss opportunities. But, you're right, nothing ever gets written. :)
Except maybe more emails :-) Thanks for dropping in, Petula.
Cute post, it's amazing what we can get done while online, isn't it? Business, snacking, socializing, researching! Oh, the list goes on. Enjoyed browsing here.
Thanks, Joanne! Always nice to see you...Somehow, I feel like everyone else is getting a lot more done online than me :-) (P.S. Like your wonderful blog-Whole Latte Life-love that name!)
