![]() It may sound paradoxical - wouldn't notifiers REDUCE your productivity by yanking your attention in one way or another? However, for me "no news is good news" and the lack of any new mail alerts helps me to stay focused. With that in mind, I use notifiers when possible to alert me to new messages, appointment reminders, and other things I need to be aware of. The danger to this approach is that you might find yourself caught up in another issue then remember twenty minutes later: "Uh-oh, I was supposed to send out a confirmation note that the system is back up." It's easy to jump from one thing to another - like checking for new email while waiting for a server to boot up. As a system administrator, I spend a lot of time waiting for programs to load, services to start, or scripts to finish. Multi-tasking amidst distractions can be a real productivity killer.
