Can you please provide a source for those numbers? Because at first glance they seem pretty fantastical.

  According to a research report by Adobe, the average office worker spends 5.9 hours per day checking email: https://business.adobe.com/blog/perspectives/if-you-think-email-is-dead-think-again https://business.adobe.com/blog/perspectives/if-you-think-em... Whereas the average Google search supposedly takes 14.6 seconds: https://fitsmallbusiness.com/google-search-statistics/ https://fitsmallbusiness.com/google-search-statistics/

    I'm sure the report is legit considering it's by Adobe, but I'm having a hard time believing it. Doesn't leave much room for anything else in the day there if people are spending that much time on it. Especially since that doesn't seem to account for any social media or online chat (Slack, Teams) or other internet time either. Even when my job had a good chunk of responding to emails I don't think I spent more than an two hours a day on it. As for personal emails I think I spend maybe 20 minutes a day on that, mostly just quickly glancing at notifications that show up there and clicking through if necessary. And work emails I'm probably at about 10 minutes at my current job, I don't get that many and the ones I do get don't require much time or a response. Although my situation is likely atypical. Still the average seems like the polar opposite to me, and should be the high, not the average.
