办公室文化:别让电子邮件偷走你的时间

3. Send email at the right time.

3. 在正确的时间发送电子邮件。

According to Baydin's analysis, the average email user writes 40 messages a day, but there's no point writing these emails if they don't get read. A message sent at 6 a.m. is more likely to be opened than one sent later in the day, Moore reports, though there's also a small bump in reading after lunch. "If you need to ask someone to do something, you're more likely to get what you want after their blood sugar is up," he says.

根据Baydin的分析，普通电子邮件用户每天会写40条信息，但如果没人读这些信息，它们就没有任何作用。比如，摩尔发现，早上六点钟发送的信息与之后任何时间发送的信息相比，被打开的几率更高。另外，午饭后也是阅读信息的一个小高潮期。他说：“如果你想请求某人做某事，在对方血糖升高之后，你便越有可能实现自己的目的。”

4. Don't check email so often.

4. 不要过于频繁查看电子邮件。 Peter Bregman, author of 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done, notes that there's a reason email management has grown from zero hours per week to 28% of a person's time in a generation. "Email is such a seductress in terms of distraction because it poses as valid work," he says. You're supposed to be working on a proposal, but you don't feel like working on the proposal, so you check your inbox. "If you could get away with watching TV, you probably would instead of writing that proposal, but you probably can't, so instead you check email," he says.
