Email productivity – the Quit button

Email productivity – the Quit button

I have a new productivity tool, it’s called the Mail.app Quit button.
Not only is email the most intrusive distractor of focused task completion, but it’s a grand excuse to choose not to focus. Control over tasks is about just that: control. A permanently open email client is anything but control. Emails pop in at any [...]
