How Often Should You Check for New Email?

  1. E-mails arrive at all hours of the day

    Bottom Line

    • Everyone will need to find their own balance for checking their e-mail and getting things done. Michael Sampson, a Collaboration Strategist who works in the US, Europe, Australia and other locales states, "You should check email as often as you need to in order to get the work of your day done." If this means that checking once a day or once and hour is fine as long as it works for you.
