Alcoholics aren't the only ones who need twelve step programs. An executive coach has devised a program to help people manage their email addiction. The first step? "Admit that e-mail is managing you. Let go of your need to check e-mail every ten minutes." There is a growing concern that email is costing us untold millions in lost productivity.
