Annual Hours on Email
Email Time Formula
Annual Hours = (Emails per Day x Minutes per Email / 60) x Work Days per Year
Studies by McKinsey found the average knowledge worker spends 28% of their workday reading and answering email — about 2.6 hours in an 8-hour day, or 650 hours per year.
Strategies that help: checking email only 2–3 times per day, using templates for common replies, and unsubscribing aggressively.
