I have 5 emails that redirect to one inbox. 75% is spam, but I make sure to at least read all the other emails. I'd say that I get around 50 emails per day on average.

How many emails do you get each day?

Just out of curiosity, I took note of how many emails I received yesterday. There were 85 plus about 10 that went straight to my spam folder. So that was 95 messages that needed at least a couple seconds each of my attention. Of course, there were quite a few that took a lot more time than that, needed to be read, files downloaded, responses sent, etc. So even if I averaged 30 seconds per message, that's over 45 minutes of my day spent dealing with email. And I know there are days when I get a lot more messages. Even 30 minutes a day would be 182 hours per year or the equivalent of about 5 weeks of work. It's really disturbing when you start looking at it in those terms.
Don't get me wrong. I love email. I think it's a great way to communicate and it is far faster and more convenient than phone calls for most stuff. But to think that I'm spending a couple hundred hours every year on email is just a little hard to process.
I know it's probably futile but I'm going to start trying to wean it down a bit. I do get a number of professional emails that I really don't need. I'll see if I can unsubscribe from any of them. There are also some other assorted things like travel newsletters, store promotions, and things like that that I could easily do without. I usually just delete them but I'm going to start checking to see if there is a way to stop receiving them entirely. Maybe I'll find a few dozen extra hours in my year.

I am glad work emails are over with, people start these long chains that do not ever get to the root of the problem. Or email about something important but leaving out what they would like you to do or the info needed to do as asked. Sending info on one patient to the whole company site, often with name in subject line, despite tons of HIPAA training. I felt like I was working with people who did not really understand a professional way to use email. Personal, not nice stuff about another employee happened a ton. Even though we had found out our supervisor can read our emails and actually does because she will reference them. Really stupid people said bad things about her!
Our corporation had gotten a lot bigger, 89k people bigger, spanning many states, I got the cafeteria menu, I think for every state. People who are so lazy to designate recipients and actually send stuff out to 89k people, should be fired or have to take an email class.
used wisely, makes a job so much easier, used by idiots, you have to delete 100 emails of pure crap daily. Don't get me started on what an angel will do for you if you forward her to 1,000 people.
Home, I have a new macbook and the spam thing isn't working properly, the button to designate it as spam is usually greyed out. But only friends and family have that email so it's no biggie. I have to do something about my Yahoo mail, it's pretty good at catching spam but I have used this address for everything for years and it's adding up. And then I tried a freebie site that someone liked, holy crap the spam! Will never use that email address for stuff like that again.
do most people put their email in folders? I am so bad about this, I just flag important stuff and leave it in my inbox
