Itend to use bouts of insomnia to clear out my spam/junk folder, and the other day in amongst the dredge was a tool that promised to make me “at least 15 per cent more efficient” at handling my email.
It’s obviously moot as to whether or not I would need that tool if it wasn’t for endless emails offering me that tool, but it did serve as a reminder that while many of these hacks and apps have indeed made me more efficient over the years, the generated gains have tended to benefit my employers rather than me.
