You have to give us a little bit more about your background and your current role for us to be able to give you information.
When you say your peers only send one email you mean the email that you’re listed on correct? Are you looking for guidance on how to better manage your time or is it something else?
Some jobs just aren’t about emails per minute. For engineering I’d rather spend time on due diligence and send something correct over rushing through multiple things.
Emails. So. Many. Emails.
Do tell about this sweep button, you say?
Meetings and calls all day and then frantically start my actual work sometime around 5PM
Seriously? I have to answer at least 40 emails/ day. I have 5-7 weekly meetings (all productive and short).
Yesterday, I had 11 meetings and a total of 1 hour free between 8:30 - 4:00. Got back online at about 7:30 and worked until 10:30 reviewing some important files, getting emails out, etc. Most importantly, I blocked a big chunk of time on my calendar for today because I'm not having 11 meetings again
Mostly researching online, editing/making decks in Excel, writing memos. I’m the most junior person on the team so it’s mostly grunt work. We don’t have many meetings so I can mostly just focus on the work and use the extra time as cool down which works well with me given I work in bursts.
Out of curiosity for those tasks, have you started to use or see AI a lot in doing research?
Research, development, report.
Depends on the day. Usually 4-5 hours of meetings daily, maybe 7-20 emails
About 10 hours of meetings a week, between solving stop-work issues, producing analytical reports, answering emails, listening to people’s ideas about how their work could be made more effective.
I craft 80% of an email, get a phone call, switch to another task, get 80% through that email, get another call, repeat.
