Comments on: Productivity Tip: Stop Constantly Checking Your e-mail http://www.wandco.com/69 A small personal design firm Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:28:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: DK Holland http://www.wandco.com/69/comment-page-1#comment-45 DK Holland Fri, 14 Oct 2005 17:17:50 +0000 http://www.wandco.com/?p=69#comment-45 Good point Ben. What I do is - since I have two computers - and all my emails come into both - the additional problem is that of the 96 emails per hour, 50 are from friends family, 46 from clients and colleagues. So, on my office computer, I have put my friends family into my spam file which focuses my emails. I also read the subject line, as you said, and skip those that are unessential until a time when I am less busy. But don't most people do that? I confess that I don't think I'm physically capable of completely turning off my email even for an hour, as you suggest. I am a total junkie: And whenever someone starts the self help group - EAA - I will be first in line. DK Good point Ben.
