Now I just load up my Twitter (me + friends) feed on a feed reader widget, and I only check out messages a few times a day. Yes, Twitter can be a good source for info/news leads, but then the problem is being able to filter the useful information efficiently. I used to be a Twitter addict.

When I really need to focus, I shut Twitter down, but sometimes I keep it up and running without really paying attention to it. That is probably affecting my productivity though, but then again I might get a lead on a story, which is good for staying ahead, so it's not black and white for me. I’m doing a version of #3.

Now we're talking (3 years, undergrad) I have to roll with #3 - I can't work with that level of distraction honestly - so it gets shut down when I'm powering through my school stuff.. I can handle it while blogging though :) m Latin! Now we’re talking (3 years, undergrad)

You don't and let it continue to create habitus interruptus 2. You minimize it and set it to ring with different "ring tones" -- so you can tell which twitters are addressed to you and which ones aren't 3. You close it while you work. Personally #3 works the best. Anything less, i find, is just kidding yourself (seriously). Cheers t @ dji There are three ways, as I see it.

I do it in the inbetween moments. It only takes a second... and it sames me from writing lots of useless blog posts. twitter actually frees up time for me. I do it in the inbetween moments.
