We all have those folks in our lives (and I know I've been one of them, so please forgive me as I knew not what I was doing) who just want a "few moments of your time." We go into many conversations with the best of intentions in being quick, but then the question or statement becomes chatter about other things and then there goes your productivity, right? Well, I found a cool tool to help those of us who are less inclined to say "no" to our friends and colleagues.
