Email Runs Your Day If You Let It
Email runs your day if you let it — what studies show, and what they do not.
The Research
Kushlev & Dunn (2015, Computers in Human Behavior) show that limiting email checking to three times a day reduces stress.
The Limitation
A one-week experiment with a modest sample.
The Nuance
Constant email checking creates an illusion of productivity while fragmenting attention. (our executive and employee training programmes)
A Practical Implication to Test in Basel
Close your email application between three fixed daily time slots and measure self-reported stress over two weeks. To go further: explore the Time Management & Prioritisation training in Basel in the canton of Basel-Stadt, or browse our executive and employee training programmes in Switzerland.
