How many hours do you spend on emails?

21
•
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?

I allocate time for email correspondence twice daily, with each session capped at 20 minutes. For matters requiring more urgent attention, alternative communication methods are available.

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.

About half an hour.

30 min to 1 hour, depending on how many emails I get from people.

I spend around 2-3 hours daily on emails, messages, and project tracking too. Some tools that helped me save time are Superhuman for emails, Slack for streamlined messaging, and tools like Trello or Asana for project tracking. AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT also help with crafting faster replies. Would love to hear what others recommend!

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

I personally spend around 1 hour in the morning checking my emails, 1 hour at noon, and 30 minutes before I log off. BTW - Persana just launched AI Sales and Voice Agents. If that's interesting for you, please visit our launch page and let us know if you have questions.
