Millions of emails are sent daily, people chat online in real time and many have even taken up tweeting to communicate by the minute. Progress is fascinating however, as our business and personal lives entwine it's imperative for them not to collide!
Putting distance between your various relationships will enable your professional life to remain as such while your personal life remains on the downlow. I'd suggest taking the time to ensure they don't clash by creating new, separate email accounts for each facet of your life.
