Surviving Chronic E-Mail Fatigue... why should I survive it I've had it since 1995 when I was one of 600 seniors in high school who had home internet access and a home PC. I have been addicted to e-mail a long time. Yes, it is incredibly addictive. I obsessively check 2-3 accounts about every 20 minutes during the day while working and only 1 is for work the other 2 are my personal accounts!
I will wholeheartedly agree that it is completely addictive. When I was without it from Sept 10, 2001 to March 1, 2002 I was a disaster. I was cranky and out of touch with a number of people I had become close to or spent hours communicating with including my family in another state and my best friends from high school. I will also state for the record that it is incredibly addictive as are things like instant messaging which gave me the skill of typing quickly with only one hand as I was busy holding and breast feeding my child with the other one. I learned to use shortcut keys that way as well.
I wholeheartedly now trust my spam filters on my Gmail accounts and my Outlook accounts to save me from the headaches and hassles of SPAM. I now lecture in the mornings on the evils of SPAM and how to protect your accounts as well.
I am, well, completely, totally, unabashedly addicted to e-mail. It is one of the best tools I have to "get 'er done"!
