How many hours does email waste each day?

Be sure to include time people spend:

• Dealing with being CC:d or BCC:d on a dozen messages and trying to figure out why.
• Using email when voice or in-person would be faster.
• Sending or receiving messages sent for butt-covering reasons, rather than forward-movement reasons.
• Decoding ambiguous, incomplete, or vague email from someone in power (someone other than you, of course; your emails are well-known to be complete, clear, and concise).
• Scanning and reading email that turns out to be irrelevant.
• “Multi-tasking” because each email shoves you into a different train of thought?
• Just calming down and re-centering from the anxiety of having a huge inbox backlog.
