Work The Web

We are still getting complaints from studio managers that entire creative teams aren't doing any work on Friday afternoons as they are mailing each info bombs from the newzfeed ... and a new joint report commissioned by Pitney Bowes does little to support their case.

The study, which was published a couple of weeks ago but we were too distracted by all our other emails to read it, stated that workers in the US, the United Kingdom and Germany are "interrupted by telephones, faxes, and e-mail every 10 minutes. Workers in the US receive an average of 200 e-mail messages per day, while in the United Kingdom workers receive 171 messages per day, half of which are from people within the workers' departments." See, you're not doing any work now are you?

The report went on to say that although e-mail is intended to save time and ease communication, they can become a burden, as 38 percent of UK workers claim that they are very distracted by the interruptions. So what's the solution then clever clogs?
