Why Johnny Can't Do EMail

No wonder I'm feeling stupid all the time!
Workers distracted by phone calls, e-mails and text messages suffer a greater loss of IQ than a person smoking marijuana, a British study shows.
I am about a 200 Emails a day kind of guy, so even if you exclude the phone calls and text messages, I must be suffering.

200 e-mails a day holy shit! I thought I was busy. Even if you don't have to respond to 90% of them your still at that computer way more than most folks. Yet somehow you still seem to enjoy blogging. Maybe you should consider rehab

Good point. It's a postman's holiday sort of thing. My personal worst month was 8,000 mails in one month. I do open and look at almost everything, even if it's often just long enough to find out I don't care. I probably only send about 20 a day myself, though. Life in the wonderful high tech industry, especially when you have people working for you in 5 locations outside of the one I'm at.
