Email in 2024: Why the Hell Are We Still Using This Dinosaur?
Last week I got so fed up with email, I tried something crazy - ditched it completely for a week.
Here's what happened:
My productivity shot up (like seriously, 34% up)
The constant anxiety? Gone
But damn... lost 2 clients because they couldn't reach me 🤦♂️
Got me thinking... what's the deal with email in 2024\25? At this point, it's basically just:
A login button for every freaking website
A dump for newsletters I swear I'll read "later"
The only way to talk to my boss who thinks WhatsApp is for teenagers
Real talk:
How much of your day is actually wasted on this ancient tech?
Why does every "email killer" app end up dead instead?
Let's be honest - if it wasn't for logging into stuff, would you still use email?
Here's a wild thought: If email disappeared tomorrow, what would you actually miss?
Drop your thoughts below 👇 Curious to hear if I'm the only one going crazy over this.

Haha emails definitely feel like ancient tech at this point! 📧🦕 But for real, I think we're still stuck with them because there's no clear replacement that checks all the boxes yet - decentralized, universal, secure, etc. Although there are some interesting new takes on it like Hey and Superhuman trying to revamp the email experience. I'm definitely ready for something new to take over though! 🙏
@evelynrosesinclair I'm with you on this! This is PH, it's full of people who can make this happen.
Please someone reinvent email already!
Seriously, ditching email sounds like a dream - I'd miss all the "urgent" company memos like I'd miss a hangover. Honestly, if "Her Ideal Match" can help men decode dating profiles, why can't we have something to decode our inboxes? Imagine the productivity boost!
