Hi, my name is Jonathan Kealing, and I’m an e-mailaholic.
@ColonelTribune, the Twitter persona of the Chicago Tribune, passed along a link this morning to a study about e-mail usage.
What did they find? When it comes to e-mail, you are either a “day laborer” or an “e-mailaholic.” Me? I’m the latter.
I send and receive e-mail at all times, day or night. Sometimes, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I’ll even thumb through e-mails on my BlackBerry to make sure the world is still spinning.
Now, a day laborer, that’s someone who only sends and receives e-mails between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and they can’t wait for 5 p.m. to arrive and never look at their e-mail again until the next morning.
The survey was based on interviews with more than 100,000 U.S. and and European college students and staff.
What about you? I created a poll where you can weigh in on how you use your inbox.
