You're a slave to your e-mail?

So here's what happens, you wake up and check your e-mail.  You have 50 new messages, 3 of which are relevant, the rest are automated drip campaigns with offers that you think you might want later.  If you are smart, you click spam, but most likely you leave these sitting around for "later."  You could "archive" them if you want to try to outsmart the system. 
Eventually, you are satisfied with that, grab your coffee (get ready) then come back and now you have 10 more messages.  This time 1 of them is extremely relevant the rest is more "drips."  You type out a great response and get ready to start your activities.  Halfway through talking to your best client you hear "DING" and you have a new message.  Since this is the co-op agent on the deal you start to read it, meanwhile your client senses that you are not really listening. 
This happens until lunch time where you check your blackberry constantly like a fidgety little kid trying not to sit still.  After lunch, you talk yourself into "relaxing" for a few minutes checking your e-mail and you pick off the "low hanging" fruit of "availability" emails or ... more
