According to research from the University of Glasgow, 1 in 3 workers feel stressed by the number of emails they get and the obligation to respond. What is it about email that induces guilt if one doesn’t make an almost immediate response. Furthermore the additive nature of emails is probably counter-productive from a work point of view. According to the research, employees working on a computer may switch applications to view their emails as many as 30 or 40 times per hour! Maybe we should have systems that only allow us to open our email once an hour, and then maybe we would be able to get on with other work. Someone recently said to me in that connection that they don't actually think that emails are work.
