			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve probably been out of the office this week, working from home or missing some work hours with the cold snap hitting Ireland. You&#8217;ve probably missed meetings and projects are delayed, but here&#8217;s an idea &#8211; How about not sending work emails this weekend?</p>
<p>How guilty of this are you?, because I am, despite having been on the receiving end a few times. One of my old managers had this habit of 2am Saturday night email rants, while another would always send a barrage of requests at 6pm on a Friday (we finished at 5pm).</p>
<p>From <a target="_blank" href="http://sanderssays.typepad.com/sanders_says/2007/01/dont_send_work_.html" >Tim Sanders blog</a>, His Rule #6 is Don&#8217;t send an email to someone at a time you wouldn&#8217;t phone them, and only send inside office hours as it&#8217;s not fair on others, increasing <em>Corporate Guilt Complex</em></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the snippet in full</p>

<p>Tough love, you need to manage your workload and email at a <strong>professional time</strong>.</p>
