We all get too many e-mails. Here's how not to let them take over your life
Overwhelmed by e-mail? You’re not alone
I saw this notice taped to a pole recently, along with an invitation to participate in a research study to address the problem. The funny part? The only way to reply was, you guessed it, by e-mail.
Readers of this blog are used to my complaints about excessive e-mail. Yesterday I returned home from a brief stint away from e-mail with 76 new messages to hack through, and I know I’m not alone.
Much of this is my own fault. I can’t resist signing up for the deal of the day at multiple sites. Nor do I have the heart to axe chain e-mails from the associations to which I belong, not to mention the regular updates from my favourite hair salon, clothing store and housewares shop that, while mostly useless, do bring the occasional freebie. But there are ways to mend mine.
As a last resort, some frustrated users have declared e-mail bankruptcy.
