I answer an e-mail once every 6.66 minutes

43 Folders (http://www NULL.43folders NULL.com/) grabs the New York Magazine article called “Where Work is a Religion, Work Burnout Is Its Crisis of Faith (http://www NULL.printthis NULL.clickability NULL.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=Where+Work+Is+a+Religion%2C+Work+Burnout+Is+Its+Crisis+of+Faith+--+New+York+Magazine&expire=&urlID=20310132&fb=Y&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnymag NULL.com%2Fnews%2Ffeatures%2F24757%2Findex NULL.html&partnerID=73272)” where the writer discovered answering “an e-mail once every 6.66 minutes (http://www NULL.43folders NULL.com/2007/01/16/email-all-the-time/).”

In the spirit of e-mail that I’ve been writing about this week — like, how to reduce it — 43 Folders brings on the other side with perfect timing.

The article notes:

“One has to wonder whether the developments of a high-speed world haven’t made burnout worse.”

Um….who doesn’t think so?

PS By the way, it is an extraordinary article that looks at many aspects of being burned out, not just e-mail. Jennifer Senior (http://nymag NULL.com/nymag/author_78) did a great job writing it over at New York Magazine and well worth the read.
