Email Overload Redux
Widgets & RSS FeedsSome issues never seem to change or die. Email overload is one of them.
Today, the New York Times has a long article about the stress created by email overload. The piece mentions a new book called Never Check E-Mail in the Morning, includes some summaries of recent studies (60 percent of people check mail while on vacation) and some of the usual anecdotes about the consequences of indiscretion.
Also this week, IBT-USA offered some new numbers about the extent of email overload. IBT-USA found time spent on email jumped to 8.8 hours per week in 2004 from 4 hours in 2000.
Prescriptions to reduce overload do exist. Kaitlin Duck Sherwood writes about overload and even has some books out. Stever Robbins, the star of the NYT piece, has also published a piece.
