Had it with your inbox? Scottish researchers at Glasgow and Paisley universities have found that more than a third of those studied find their email stress inducing. But the study also reports that an equal number of people have the
discipline to let a day or more pass before responding. And, in a finding that likely will surprise no one, women feel more compelled to respond to email than men. Web Worker, of course, has some remedies, including declaring email bankruptcy. Lawrence Lessig, the Stanford professor and far-sighted Internet strategist, coined the term after clocking more than 80 hours in one week dealing with email. 80 hours in one week? That's two work weeks.
