It’s hard to believe when the movie “You’ve Got Mail” came out in 1998, people actually looked forward to opening their inboxes.

According to the McKinsey Global Institute, today’s average employee spends 13 hours per week reading and replying to emails. This translates into 28% of your time being spent on a completely reactive activity that is probably not even part of your job description. Imagine how much more productive you would be if you could get that time back.
