We’d never make Slack an email client, but it’s good to support sending emails into it. There’s quite a bit of formatting you can do. When I get an email from the outside world that I want to share with team, I cut and paste it into Slack. But really, I should be able to import that email as an object.
Stewart Butterfield
I try to take a weekly digital Sabbath, batch my emails so I deal with them a few times a day rather than constantly, and increasingly give myself permission to ignore unsolicited communiques. I try, too, to give others more slack. The respond-now culture is a two-way street. I’m trying to be more mindful of that.
Noreena Hertz
When I got laid off, I would write my friends these 15-page-long emails. This was before people had personal emails, and my friends would tell me that I was going to get them fired if I kept sending them stuff, so I started a website.
Jen Lancaster

Maggie Rogers
Your email inbox is a bit like a Las Vegas roulette machine. You know, you just check it and check it, and every once in a while there’s some juicy little tidbit of reward, like the three quarters that pop down on a one-armed bandit. And that keeps you coming back for more.
Douglas Rushkoff
Stop running around, stop trying to return every email in your inbox immediately, stop cramming too much stuff into too few hours in the day. Sit down, shut up, and most importantly, be glad.

Marvin Ammori
Email is very informal, a memo. But I find that not signing off or not having a salutation bothers me.
Judith Martin
I don’t believe that the world is that crazy that they have nothing to better to do with their time than send me emails and tell me these outlandish stories. So I’ve started to plot the communities that have come to me on a map.
Erin Brockovich
In an email… like I did 100 interviews, and I never repeated one story. That’s impossible to do when you do face-to-face interviews, because your brain locks and you say the same thing over and over again.
David Berman
Clinton’s problem was that many Americans didn’t trust her because she was caught telling untruths – repeatedly – about her email system. She first told us it was simply a matter of convenience to use her unsecure, non-government email system. That wasn’t true.
Tom Fitton
Normally, I just sit in my quiet little room and do the small things that bring me pleasures. I read my books, I answer email, I write a little bit.
Aaron Swartz
I love technology, and man, is it helpful. But it also means you’re always on. Always findable. Always available to ‘just take five minutes’ to answer an email, tweet a link for someone, check in quickly on FourSquare.

Thomas Ian Nicholas
The idea behind ‘Defending Your Life’: Imagine if you had to sit in a courtroom and watch your life. I don’t care who you are – if you committed a crime and you had to have all of your emails searched and made public, who on this planet could survive that? Nobody.

A lot of times, people find themselves in a meeting where the primary purpose is to receive information, and that’s a poor use of people’s time. Those meetings can be easily dispensed with and can be an email instead that people read in their own time.
Patrick Lencioni
I’ve had tweets questioning whether I really did go to university because surely I would have lost my accent if I did; a letter suggesting, very politely, that I get correction therapy; and an email saying I should get back to my council estate and leave the serious work to the clever folk.
Steph McGovern
For example, I was discussing the use of email and how impersonal it can be, how people will now email someone across the room rather than go and talk to them. But I don’t think this is laziness, I think it is a conscious decision people are making to save time.
Margaret J. Wheatley
‘Butterfly Mosque’ came out of the emails I wrote to family and friends back home after moving to Egypt.

One thing I can’t stand is when people – not our team, but other people – don’t respond. Everybody can email, everybody can text… using an email auto-response is not the world we live in.
Kevin Harvick
I do a little fact checking now and then. Other than that its impact is simply that email has revolutionized communication for me, and my website has built up a community of readers, which is a lot of fun.
Lee Child
I work late nights catching up on emails, and then, in the mornings, I just hop on my laptop right away. Then, every other day, I’ll hop into the shower! My husband is horrified that I don’t shower every day.

It is hard to check five email inboxes, three voice mail systems, or five blogs that you are tracking.
David Rose
I know of no government official who would welcome an a

I know of no government official who would welcome an army of inspectors general combing through four years of emails on their unclassified accounts. That’s why they use government accounts, where the government remains responsible for security, and they don’t mingle personal correspondence with official.

Kim Swift
I like texting as much as the next kidult – and embrace it as yet more evidence, along with email, that we live now in the post-aural age, when an unsolicited phone call is, thankfully, becoming more and more understood to be an unspeakable social solecism, tantamount to an impertinent invasion of privacy.

Blake Farenthold
