Coping With Email Overload
http://youtu.be/hq5yksbplhE
Peter Bregman posted this at Psychology Today… I’ve come to the conclusion that I use email to distract myself. Whenever I feel the least bit uneasy, I check my email. Stuck while writing an article? Bored on a phone call? Standing in an elevator, frustrated in a meeting, anxious about an interaction? Might as well [...]

Email Is Not Broken; We Are
Here’s an interesting perspective on the ‘problem’ of email… There’s a constant flow of “email is/is not broken” articles across the internet, but most of them miss the point.
