“We all need time off. Like serious time off. Time when we feel like
we’re able to truly rejuvenate without the little panicked voice
chirping away in the back of our heads fretting about the backlog of
things we are going to have to deal with when we come in.
“Unfortunately, email is the one app that we feel guilty about turning off. Why? Cuz the interface is designed to put you on a hamster wheel, rarely ever succeeding at letting you reach empty. You feel accomplished when you get to inbox zero. And then you sleep and it’s all back to haunt you. For this reason, I recommend taking an email sabbatical.”
