Finding the cure for email

A Nobel prize awaits the genius who will find a cure for email.  I can't remember the last time I ran a focus group and no one said that email was the biggest curse in their working life.

And I came across this story from a blog which maybe gives me hope.  OK I can't see it catching on, but at least there are people out there trying to save us.

God bless them I say.

I'm currently working on a project with a client where one of the biggest challenges is to communicate time management (and cutting down the number of emails) without sending emails. This seems to be one of the biggest problems in a global organization.

I can feel a campaign coming on.. or perhaps we need to have peopple out with collecting tins to fund the vital research that is needed into this area...

We’ve attempted to address this issue for internal communicators. I’m not sure it’s worthy of a Nobel prize but I’m keen to hear any feedback:
