A blog ostensibly about email productivity by Chris Coyier who you can email, obviously, at chris@coyier.com
Article from Dan Mercer that s an obvious must-link from this blog. His opener sets the stage: In her book Attention Span, UC Irvine informatics professor Gloria Mark describes a study in which her team shut off email for a group of office workers for a week, then compared their behavior to the previous three weeks.
