Email's Impact on Productivity

Email, once seen as a more efficient form of communication than fax or voicemail, has inadvertently led to a hyperactive hive mind workflow. This workflow, characterized by unscheduled ad hoc back and forth messaging, generates a high volume of messages that require timely responses. As a result, individuals find themselves constantly checking their inboxes, leading to cognitive fatigue and decreased productivity. The convenience of email has come at the cost of clear thinking and mental exhaustion.
