How often do you look in your e-mail inbox? For most people this happens ten times or more on a daily basis. We, who work online, have the mailbox but actually always in view, right? But there are also negative sides to the e-mail. If we look too often in the mailbox, we lose valuable time in which we could use to do a lot.
Studies show that any interruption of work not only costs the time of interruption, but can be counted up to 20 minutes on top, until you are fully dedicated to the actual activity again. At this time it is not uncommon for the next interruptions. “Just check e-mails” costs a lot of time and money. It would be better if the mails are checked only two to three times a day. But there is this habit of repeatedly checking the mailbox, which makes it difficult for us to get used to it. With the Adios tool, this transition can be much easier – if you use Gmail or the GSuite for the mails. Then the tool ensures that the mails are delivered only three times a day. The rest of the time there is “yawning emptiness” in the inbox.
Only read emails three times a day? Many consider this impossible and still believe they should respond immediately to every incoming email. However, experience shows that it really is not necessary. If something is really urgent, it will probably not come by mail. Everything else can wait a few hours. You may not want to keep your main client or boss waiting, but you can define rules in Adios that always send the emails of specific senders. The tool, which works with the Goolge products, retrieves the mail through a third-party client via Imap and then deposits it in the mailbox with an invisible label that controls the ad at specific times. The provider assures that the contents of the e-mails are not accessed.
The tool setup is quick and easy – and it’s free. So there’s nothing wrong with trying it out even over the holidays and seeing if you can not free yourself from the need to be reachable via email anytime, anywhere and above all to respond immediately. Over time, it becomes quite normal to open the mailbox less and less and a tool to support is then no longer necessary.
