My personal experience, confirmed by numerous studies, is:
- It’s faster to process email in batches rather than checking in 30 times/day.
- Humans cannot multi-task, they just complete both tasks slower, and with lower quality. (Texting and driving, meetings and email)
- The best ideas, new ideas, come in a flash when you’re not working.
