Managing your Inbox without Multitasking
How many times a day or an hour do you stop what you are doing to check your email, or (try to) write an email while you are speaking with someone or doing something else? If you have your email set up to send out a visual or sound notification every time a new email comes in, chances are you are switching back and forth between your email and other tasks very frequently.
The Cost
Have you ever paid attention to how long it takes you to get back to what you were doing after you have left it to check your email? If not, you might be very surprised to discover how much time you lose re-establishing your focus on the task you were working on. A study done by Microsoft showed that on average, it takes 15-20 minutes to re-engage fully in a task or project each time we’re interupted (or each time we interupt ourselves). This time lost can easily turn an eight hour work day into an eleven hour work day!
When used well, email can be an efficient, effective and convenient tool for communication. All too often, however, due to the volume of emails sent and received everyday (205 billion worldwide), our email inbox can become an overwhelming monster! The average office worker receives 121 emails everyday, and that’s just at work. So, what is a person to do? Do you feel like your Email inbox is out of control in need of a detox ?
