What will this book do for you?
Email. Imagine a psychologist asking for associations with that evocative word:
“Pain in the butt”, “nightmare”, “wonderful”, “love it”, “hate it”
“Stops me falling asleep in meetings”
“Spoils my training sessions with delegates who become distracted by incoming mail”
“Caused my sister to have an accident whilst driving and trying to respond to a text”
“My toddler hates it when I just go near my phone”
“Can't stand it when a phone lights up in the cinema”
“My boyfriend is so rude answering emails when we are trying to have important conversations”
“It causes so much pressure and stress: my boss expects emails to be answered immediately, even after we have left work”
“I worry if I notice emails from overseas when I get up during the night”
“I can work from home. I can work from anywhere. If only it would just sometimes STOP!”
Yes, email! Email came from nowhere and came from nowhere so quickly many of us are still trying to decide the best way to handle it. And so far we are not doing very well. Although at its best, the ability to send a long letter to our friend across the world – for free – and get an immediate response is marvellous, the constant email reminders as we try to run a meeting, or perhaps settle down to a romantic meal, are challenging to say the least. The problems are many. We are still growing with a developing product that in its infancy was a joy, but has now become a monster. Once only accessible with a dedicated machine, it can now follow us anywhere. And email is of course just the biggest of the ‘digital interrupters’ followed by texts, updates from Facebook, Twitter and many other social media we might use and others that we haven't even dreamt of yet.
What will this book do for you? Ultimately it will let you drive home – or catch the train or bus – and feel you are genuinely email free until the next working day. It will enable you to switch off both physically and digitally without guilt or anxiety about work and without losing the pleasure of the personal email. And it will do that in the minimum number of words, the least amount of your time and the most easily implemented of suggestions.
Here's the structure of Go Home Email Free
The majority of the sections will start with the big idea (e.g. “email overload”) and then explain how to address that challenge in more detail. There will then be a mini case study: those at home or work with the same challenges you have, that we all have; this gives us a chance to see how they practically implement the concepts. We'll also make sure your toughest questions are answered before a final summary. Everything in this book is tried and tested: it is both pragmatic and practical. We encourage you to start using the ideas immediately as that's the way this digital version was designed.

Back to Basics
The Challenge
It came from nowhere. It started small and was once restricted to work and a computer. Now it is a big – very big – part of our lives and accessible anywhere and everywhere, even the remotest part of our honeymoon holiday in Vietnam. And yet we would be very unusual if our organization had any kind of email etiquette. It would be surprising if we had received any real instruction at school or college on how to cope in The World of the Digital Interrupt. And we might instruct our children in their “Ps and Qs” but what guidance can we – should we – give in a world in which their social life, peer recognition and much academic work seems to revolve around the digital connection?
