If you start your week by cleaning out your inbox, you’re not alone. Or, did you already log in and do it this weekend?
A new poll of working adults found 93% of us check our email every day, including 88% who even check it on vacation. Only 6% don’t check it every day.
Here are a few more stats on America’s email habits . . .
1. Only checking it once a day isn’t very common. 42% said three to five times a day, 28% said 10 to 20 times, and 19% check their email MORE than 20 times a day. Only 8% check it just once.
2. All that time in your inbox adds up. On weekdays, 35% said they spend less than an hour reading and responding to emails, 30% said about an hour, 17% said two hours, and 18% spend up to FIVE hours on email each day.
3. Only one in five people open all their emails. 21% said they’ll open an email no matter what, even if they think it might be spam.
4. If your email gets sent to spam, they might never see it. 24% of people said they NEVER check their spam folder.
