A recent client of mine has returned to the workplace after years running her own business. I called her at the end of her first day, she was both excited and optimistic. Her new colleagues were welcoming and she was looking forward to a long and enjoyable relationship with her new career.
I called her at the end of her first week and found her completely overwhelmed with the amount of mail she gets on a daily basis. From the moment her name hit the corporate address book she was bombarded with more than 70 mails per day. The problem was so bad that she is was considering resignation. We are now working with her to develop strategies to manage mail and stay productive.
Her situation may not be unique, a significant number of our clients state email as a significant issue. Seventy mails a day to some might seem like a luxury to others it's overwhelming. What do think about email? Is there such thing as email addiction? What is enough/too much? How do you stay on top of your mail?
