Did you know that on average we send a novel worth of emails every year?
The average email user writes the equivalent of a short novel every year in sent emails.
The organization app called Cue tallied up the number of emails, along with the average number of words per email and released a figure that shows the average email user wrote 41,638 words during the year 2012.
These words are enough to fill a book of around one hundred sixty six pages, since most published novels contain about two hundred fifty words per page.
Cue reported that the average number of emails received per person last year was 5,579, while the number of sent emails reached 869.
Other data from Cue includes that the busiest day of the workweek is Tuesday and the busiest hour of the day happens at 11 o’clock a.m.
According to another study from the global management consulting firm McKinsey and Company, the average worker ends up spending so much time reading and answering emails that it amounts to over a quarter of their workday and around 13 hours a week.
Incredibly, that means, almost 6 years of our lives are spent on emails.
What do you think? Do you spend this much time sending and answering to emails?
