E-mailing at work can take off ten years of working life

Checking e-mails at work can take off almost ten years of your working life, according to a new research.

People are so addicted to the e-mail system that they can't control the urge to log on.

According to the study by Scottish IT training company, responding to an e-mail every five minutes clocks up a staggering 8.5 hours a week given the "recovery" time required after each interruption - adding up to 9.7 years of a working life.
