Roe,

I am always working to manage my emotions too.

I have found that I need to give my self “peace space” . This means that i don’t answer work emails or phone calls within a certian time.  This changes depending on my life.  Currently, I only answer between 7:30 and 3:30 (I teach).  I have found when i make it more flexible, I am really not “available” during certain times.  Then if someone tries to connect during this “pseudo available” time I tend to be more impatient.  I’m not ready to receive the information.

Maybe you could find and reflect what is “your real availability time” . I feel that this opens one up to being better at their job not less.

just a thought..

communication will always be a journey..
