How many hours do you spend on emails?

How many hours do you spend on crafting emails + replying to work messages everyday? How many hours do you spend on tracking project progress and follow-ups everyday? I personally spend 2 hours on emails & messages, another 1 hour on project tracking. But maybe 1-2 hours joggling around tasks and wasted. Wonder if there's any good AI or SaaS tools to reduce the time spent on the above tasks?

4-5 hours daily on emails & tracking - we're literally spending 25% of our lives in our inbox! 🤯

Not to much. Maybe up to 15 or 30 minutes. But spending time on social media is a huge problem :D

I’d say I spend around 1 hour on emails daily? With some AI writing tools it’s probably a bit shorter now, but I haven’t been keeping track exactly.

30 mins to 1 hour for me too, depending on the day. I try to batch process them a couple times a day so I'm not constantly getting distracted. Anyone have tips for being more efficient with email?

I usually spend a few hours managing my emails, but today I discovered a new feature from Google that has been incredibly helpful. It can summarize emails and even draft replies using Gemini for business, making the process much more efficient!

I find that I use chat more often these days. As for emails, I probably spend around 1 to 2 hours on them every day. It can be quite time-consuming, but I'm always on the lookout for ways to make it more efficient. Maybe I should explore some of those AI or SaaS tools mentioned to see if they can help me manage my email time better and free up some of my day for other tasks. Need AI Assistant with long-term memory!😌

What's worked for me is spending 10 minutes daily reflecting on where I lose time.

At least two hours per day for emails and tracking. Too many messages and projects are happening at the same time. Unfortunately I still didn't find a smart and trustful tool for these tasks. Perhaps because these tasks are too complicated to be dealt with by AI.
