Expect to See Apple Watch in Business
-
This will be interesting to see if they are really able to change the SmartWatch landscape to being actually useful for business.
I have a Pebble and it is great for tracking my exercise and I can see when an email comes in and get those notifications but it's really not that helpful.

How can you do any productive work when you're checking your e-mail every 2 minutes?
-
I know both Scott and I receive hundreds of emails a day (my daily average is around 500). Having something to just glance at and keep doing what I was would be nice.
-
Of the 500 I get a day I have answer at least 75% of those.

Checking email is a huge part of my job. When I was at Citi we averaged 16,000 emails a day. Efficient email handling is an absolute must.

Remember that most of my work has been in administration, not engineering. Engineers need to not be interrupted. Admins are interrupt driven.
-
How many admin tasks can you get done in less than 2 minutes? There aren't many I do. So even if I'm just doing admin, I won't be checking e-mail during each task and I reckon at best each task lasts 10 minutes or so. Of course some tasks allow for multi-tasking, but not all. I still don't believe you can be very productive.

When I was at Citi, average turn around time was under five minutes. So, nearly all, really. Remember not Windows, so things are much, much faster.

I have a lot of that. Anytime that I'm idle even for a second I'm on email or posting on a thread.

9 hours in a work day * 60 mins * 60 secs = 32400
How can you honestly handle 1 email every 2 seconds?
-
I have a general 5 minute response time on all emails during business hours as well. That doesn't take into account my pm's and chats from here either.

I have lots of templates for copy pasting to answer emails. I get asked the same 100 questions every day.

And a Keyboard with Macro keys for doing it.
