> don't read their damn E-mail
I also never fully understood this problem, but the other day, someone shared their screen and I saw, I kid you not, 5000+ unread emails. Granted, these were both private and work emails, but still.
I think when something like that happens (and I don't think it's an isolated case), we've completely lost the ability to deal with email in any sort of non-random way. There's a couple of questions I would ask myself there:
- Why am I being CC'd on so many things? (unfortunately, this can often be outside of one's control)
- Why don't I use automatic filtering and tagging?
