Email Numbness

The act of becoming numb to the information in emails due to the amount of emails received.
Boss: Why did you do that task? I sent you an email.
Employee: I didn't see it in the email; I get 200 emails a day.
Boss: You are experiencing email numbness; I'll cut back the amount of emails I send.

EMEF (Email Efficiency Quotient)

An algorithm that determins the efficientcy of an email sent by one person to one or more recipients with no body text but just a subject line. AN efficient email will be no higher than 1000. This calculation is as follows

EMEF = ((SU + (REC*SU)) * .75)

Email Efficiency = Subject line count + (Number of recipients * subject line count)/ the percentage of people that read the email
EMEF (Email Efficiency Quotient) = ((SU + (REC*SU)) * .75)

So for your subject line of approximately 50 characters sent to 33 recipients would be (50 + (33*50)) * .75 = 1275.

Email archaeology

Reviewing and answering fossil emails, senders of which have long lost any hope of getting a response. Usually done when bored to the extent of taking time to clean the inbox.
- Thank you.
- What's up bro? You answered an email from 3 years ago. Are you into email archaeology?
- Yeah, I got inspired by Jordan Peterson to make order in my bedroom, and went on to desktop icons and now the inbox.

- Put your mind in order first.

Email Sweats

Moisture exuded through the pores of the skin, typically in profuse quantities as a reaction to having doubts regarding the quality of an email.
After checking his email for errors for the 30th time, Gary could not shake the email sweats. He eventually said f*ck it and hit send.
