Email bankruptcy arrives on Main Street (emphasis mine):
According to AOL Mail's fourth annual Email Addiction Survey, 46% of email users said they're hooked on email (up from just 15% last year) and 51% check their email four or more times a day. One in five said they check their email more than 10 times a day.27% are so overwhelmed by their email that they've either declared "email bankruptcy," deleting (or planning to) all their email messages to start anew.
Email bankruptcy: it's no longer just for high-profile bloggers and tech luminaries. The need for bit literacy keeps growing.
As for how often people check their email, as I've written many times, it doesn't matter how often you check your email. You get the same number of incoming messages either way! The solution is how, not when, to engage your overload.
