Stop Me Before I Send Again |

No question e-tools are handy. It's nice to have them. But, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for an intervention. If you get 100 emails at three minutes per email, that adds up to one-third of your year doing nothing but email. This isn't a time sink; it's a crevasse bigger than the Grand Canyon, and it's burying you alive.
The typical user checks email 50 times a day and uses instant messaging 77 times a day, says research firm Rescue Time. If you get any work done between emails, cool. The email growth rate is now 66% a year. If you're getting 100 emails a day today--the average corporate user receives 133 a day--you could be getting 166 next year, 275 the year after that, 456 the year after that. This is not sustainable. |

Email Is Shredding Your Brain |
|
|
|
Managing email is about managing interruptions, a saboteur that is undermining the chief productivity tool, attention. Constant interruptions decimate your attention, eroding a part of your brain that regulates impulse control. The more you check email, the more you have to check it, as any BlackBerry user knows.
Unbounded email is a major stressor, playing to one of the main triggers of fight-or-flight chemicals, the perception that you are overwhelmed and can't cope. Chronic interruptions reduce productivity and cause twice the amount of errors, because they kick the cognitive process down to the rote sections of the brain, so you don't have full attention on what you're doing. |
