If you are inundated by e-mail, or stop buttons boomerangs really help to stem the tide?

It is a new add-on for Gmail inbox break is called, it is something very simple - you add a pause button to your inbox - it represents, I believe a new step in our long war against information overload. Think of the absurdity. Inbox Pause does not reduce the amount of emails that bombard you. It does not help respond more quickly. In all cases, there is already a perfectly good "pause" in your email: just not fucking check your email for a few hours. Or simply resist the temptation to open new ones. But we are weak willed for it: instead we need a button that stuff we thought that we closely monitor the flood. In short, Break Inbox is an innovation for which there is no rational necessity, which treats its users like impulsive children. For adult self-disciplined, it is an insult.

've used it for several weeks, and I love it.

It's irrational, but insisted on the idea of ??information is steeped in irrationality. There are millions of sources of information that could, in theory, follow, but only some of us say that we - and the distinction is somewhat arbitrary. I try to respond to all personal emails, but do not worry about responding to all messages personal Twitter. Pile of books to read, be on my desk glowers at me, but I never worried about the large amount of reading material in waiting, unknown anywhere. Why not fight irrationality irrationality? Do not worry about reducing the flow of information. Find the best way to reduce your stressful - and if that means go wrong with buttons break, and as boomerangs ... Who cares? In the war against overload, we need all the weapons we can get our hands.
