“Studies show that there are 77 billion corporate email messages sent every day, worldwide. By 2012, that number is expected to more than double. The Radicati Group calculates that we already spend a fifth of our day dealing with these messages; imagine a few years down the road when it takes up 40 percent of our time.”

—From Clive Thompson’s article entitled ‘The Great American Timesuck’ in this months Wired Magazine.

I’m disgusted at the amount of hours a day I spend inefficiently on email. I neglect making phone calls, which could presumably cut this ‘Timesuck’ in half. How quickly we adapt to bad habits thinking that our productivity level is increasing, when the opposite is true. I’m interested in knowing how many hours you spend on email a day? What ways are you using to make it less convoluted and more efficient?
