Studies have shown that the task of "crafting, reading, re-reading and replying to emails" takes 28% of said worker's time, which puts the math of a 260 day work year ('cause if you're lucky, you don't have to work weekends) at about 73 days. So, depending on your holidays and vacation schedule in the first quarter, that's a work day that was likely within the last fortnight.
(By the way ... check back Wednesday for another milestone day that likely happened in this same time frame ...)
The marker that makes us feel like we can now finally start getting things done instead of being inundated by our inboxes ... until this time next year ... you will (maybe not) be missed.
