Tech Lite: 12-step program for email addicts

Do you plan your vacation spots around where you can check your email? Do you send yourself email just to get some during a slow period? If so, you are an email addict. But never fear, there’s now a 12-step program available just for you, designed by an executive coach in Pennsylvania.

The first step? Like most other 12-step programs, it’s admitting you have a problem.

Some other steps to email management success include commit to keeping your in-box empty,” “establish regular times to review your email” and “deal immediately with any email that can be handled in two minutes or less, but create a file for mails that will take longer.”

We’ve been covering email for much of this month, so for more help, check out our most recent tips, guides and news on the subject.

Oh, and there won’t be face-to-face meetings in the 12-step program, but participants will be in communication with their leader … by phone.
