What Does Your Email Inbox Say About You?
By JLP | August 17, 2006
Here’s an interesting article by Jeff Zaslow titled Hoarders vs. Deleters: How You Handle Your Email Inbox Says a Lot About You I found in the Wall Street Journal. I thought this statement was interesting:
“If you keep your inbox full rather than empty, it may mean you keep your life cluttered in other ways,” says psychologist Dave Greenfield, who founded the Center for Internet Behavior in West Hartford, Conn. “Do you cling to the past? Do you have a lot of unfinished business in your life?”
Okay, I have to confess: at this time I have 1,074 messages in my inbox. I’m not “holding on to them.” Rather, I’m just lazy! I’m usually pretty good at responding to important emails. I’m just bad at deleting the stuff I don’t need.
What about you? How emails are in your inbox?
