I used to be addicted to my email. I checked all the time. And when I wasn't checking my email, I was thinking about checking my email. Here's some astounding research: We are checking our email every 6 minutes. Email management has become a discipline in itself, and information overload is now a real thing. This got me thinking: why do we work so hard on email management, instead of replacing the processes that generated these messages in the first place?

My guest today, New York Times Bestselling Author Cal Newport @CalNewportMedia , will be sharing his vision for the future of work, and some great advice on how to build workflows that don’t rely on constant email checking.

Check out Cal's new book "A World Without Email" here: https://www.amazon.com/World-Without-...
