Overcoming email checking addiction
mouser:
ok fess up, who has an addiction to checking if they have new email every 30 seconds..
more importantly:
who has a rehabilitation technique?
Redhat:
;D *confesses*
Treatment would include such drastic action as moving chair from keyboard, lifting self off said chair, and :o walking :o away from the computer.
Only to return 20 secs later to check email :Thmbsup:
JeffK:
We need a support group. Email addiction anonymous. We could incorporate eBay have I still got the highest bid checking Anonymous.
One treatment I've found doesn't work is my wife shouting at me, "You can't even sit and talk to me for five minutes without getting up and going to the computer room!".
Email addiction can be fed by visiting the E Mail aDDicts over at www.emaildiscussions.com. There are people over at that forum that have posted in excess of 1000 nay in excess of 5000 nay in excess of 10000 hits about email. (Mind you some are distributors).

I have said that I could never be suicidal...never...I mean, who would check my email?
KenR:
While I agree with everything that's been said, I think the problem is MUCH bigger. Other SIMILAR issues might include browsing web sites, chatting on IRC and other services, working on computer programs, etc. So it's not about email, it's about doing anything on a computer.
