In my first job we had guidelines for using communication: - if it needs to be answered immediately - phone or come personally - if it needs to be answered within 15 minutes (or was it 1 hour? at any rate - not immediately and not long time) - use jabber (text communicator used at the time) - if it needs to be answered some time today - write an e-mail I quite liked the system. It reduced distractions a lot.
