Not because they're lazy.
Because the inbox is a perpetual motion machine of incoming noise.
You can't keep up. Nobody can.

57% of your workday is spent communicating.
43% is spent actually creating.
Now you coordinate more than you create.
So coordinating needs to be automated, don't you think?

While the often-cited 28% figure for time spent on email sounds alarming, it’s worth questioning how accurately it reflects real productivity loss. Many “email hours” include quick scans, notifications, or necessary coordination that actually moves work forward rather than pure waste. Studies like McKinsey’s are broad averages across knowledge workers and don’t distinguish between high-value strategic emails and low-value noise. The real issue isn’t email itself but poor habits: lack of filters, weak team communication norms, and culture that expects instant replies. Blaming email alone risks overlooking root causes like unclear priorities or excessive meetings. With better practices (batch processing, templates, async updates), that 28% can be cut dramatically without declaring email the villain.
