Finding time to get out of the inbox trap
Quote:
When Citibank's Michael Hendriks got his BlackBerry, he hoped it would let him escape the tyranny of the inbox. However, like the millions of others who have taken to mobile email, he discovered that smartphones are no silver bullet for productivity.
"I struggled with email, like a lot of other people," Mr Hendriks says. "You're away from your desk or office, then you come back to face masses of email and waste a lot of time going through your inbox. You think you're getting the BlackBerry to help you with that but what happens is that the inbox chases you everywhere."
Mr Hendriks' experience is not unique. Email-capable smartphones already comprise 26.8% of mobile phone shipments in Australia, according to IDC Australia analyst Mark Novosel. That's a substantial jump from 21% penetration at the end of 2006 and Mr Novosel says the surge will continue until almost half of mobile phones sold in Australia are capable of receiving "push email".
So the tide of email becomes a tsunami that soon spills into your pocket and, if you're not careful, more of your precious non-work time.
