Jared Goralnick was interviewed on Digital Spin Radio, discussing email productivity and AwayFind.
NPR, Digital Spin Radio
“AwayFind is a clever solution that...addresses one of people's deep-seated fears of email abandonment - the fear that some piece of critical information is going to arrive and we're not going to see it.”
Jared Goralnick was interviewed by Jon Gordon of Future Tense, “Public radio’s daily journal of the digital age.” 3.5 minutes.
“The online equivalent of having an administrative assistant screen your mail and only bother you for the important things.”
“If you want to save time and check email only twice a day, or less, then you either risk missing the occasional important time sensitive emails, or you sign up for AwayFind.”
“I’ve been a user of AwayFind since last summer, and I find the service has helped me manage my inbox a great deal.”
“While you're not checking email, your autoresponder goes out to anyone who writes you. When Mr. HolyCrapINeedYouRightNow gets the auto-response, he clicks on the contact form...”
“I can’t ignore everything in my email. What if there are certain things I need to be notified of right away. This is why I’ve signed up for AwayFind.”
“AwayFind creates a lot of new questions about email even as it solves older problems; the fact that [AwayFind] provided materials to help users through those questions is great.”
Jared Goralnick was filmed for SomewhatFrank TV, discussing email productivity and AwayFind.
“AwayFind is an effective and simple way to combine the freedom of handling today’s mail tomorrow with the peace of mind in knowing urgent matters will find their way to you in time.”
“if you are in the middle of a holiday you won’t have to immerse yourself back again in the thick of it all...you can simply see the messages that you are meant to see in the first place.”
“What I liked most were the number of ways I could offer people to connect, and the categories to make sure their needs were crystal clear.”
“the ability to step away from your email without missing the really important items — the 'emailed emergencies'.”
“Who doesn't love the idea of checking their inboxes only twice a day and having peace of mind that the urgent messages will reach you?”

Grappling with a state of uncertainty
It’s difficult to define progress when surrounded by uncertainty. Without a clear picture of progress, it’s challenging to focus and move ahead. A lot of work-life, at least for me lately, is uncertainty. I’ve begun to accept that it’s a matter of perspective. I’ll explain how I get there, hopefully it can help you, [...]

Forget means to an end, and find the meaning of life
I needed more guidance for 2010 than just ‘swim’. So I began seeking out something more concrete. In the process I found what had invisibly guided the past year, and may be the key to every decision I make going forward. Perhaps I found the meaning of it all. Goals and Paths, Destinations and Enablers Last year [...]
Theme for 2010: Swim
Last year I suggested we should choose just one word and label it a theme for the year ahead. I reported back on that theme last week. This year is a similar theme, but it comes from a very different basis—the word is swim. I’ll explain after the jump… IOU in 2011 Last year I tested [...]
