TwitterBeat: Your Daily Email Habits

Last week we asked our friends on Twitter, “How often do you check your email per day?” As you can tell by some of their responses below, there are a lot of people who never sign out of their email accounts!

What do you think? Is “always on” email the most efficient way to work? I’ve had friends like David Kadavy tell me that I should accomplish a couple of tasks in the morning before I open my email and then schedule several times a day to check it. That way I can avoid being interrupted in the middle of a task. Ofcourse, it does depend on the type of work because some people really do need updates throughout the day.

Next week’s question: Is a PDA necessary for your work? Why? Just reply @See3 on Twitter.

    I’m not sure it’s a case of “to check, or not to check” — I think it’s more “WHICH to check.” There are categories (folders, addresses) of mail I definitely need to discipline myself not to check multiple times during the day. But if an editor sends me an assignment request or a fact-checking question, I definitely want to see it ASAP!
