I’m finding more and more how horrible email is on my phone. <\/p>\n
While I’ve turned off 99% of my phone’s notifications (including email), if I’m out and about I’ll still get that itch and want to pick up my phone and check-in with my social networks and email…<\/p>\n
And unlike Twitter or text messaging which allows for super quick easy replies, emails tend to take far more time to respond to.<\/p>\n
And let’s be honest, phone’s just aren’t made to send long email replies. Auto-correct and small keyboards turn me off when it comes to long replies. So while I can often filter out a lot of emails on my phone, I don’t want to reply at length until I get a chance to sit down at a computer again.<\/p>\n
And in the meantime, the email is stuck in my head ad nauseam.<\/p>\n
“I’ve got to reply!”<\/p>\n
“How will I reply?” <\/p>\n
“How quickly do I need to stop everything and reply?”<\/p>\n
On and on it goes.<\/p>\n
I’ve even run into this on my desktop –while thinking I’d just quickly check my email before heading out the door. I fly through a bunch of unimportant emails that quickly get deleted and then there’s one or two stragglers that scream for attention.<\/p>\n
Surely John Saddington and I aren’t the only ones who feel (mobile) email is so disruptive. <\/p>\n
Do you? Have you found a solution?<\/p>\n
John’s gone so far as to remove email completely<\/a> from his “smart phone.”<\/p>\n I’m not there yet – but don’t think I haven’t considered it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m finding more and more how horrible email is on my phone.
