Email contains a paradox, like these grasshoppers: Going faster doesn’t mean you’ll get less. In fact, it might mean that you’ll get even more, because email responds to your presence, just like the grasshoppers.

What you need to do is both become more efficient at processing email and at the same time decrease the number of times that you check email each day.

For if you choose to be almost immediately responsive with email, then you will get less long-term and important non-email stuff done.
