There’s a 24/7 culture, where people expect a response. It doesn’t matter that it’s Saturday at 2 a.m.–people think you’re responding to e-mail. People are no longer going on vacation. People have become slaves to email.
It’s not a technical problem. It can’t be solved with a computer algorithm. It’s more of a social problem.
Wouldn't a "do not disturb" feature that queues email in a hidden label until an appointed time work here?
Also don't most people who want instant responses use IM nowadays?
