Hi I'm Daniel Tosh, host of a new podcast called Tosh Show.

I'll be interviewing people that I find interesting, so not celebrities, and certainly not

comedians. We'll be covering topics like religion, travel, sports, gambling, but mostly it will be about being a working

mother.

If you're looking for a podcast that will educate and inspire or one that will really make

you think, this isn't the one for you.

Listen to Toss Show on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast. Today's tip is about how to spend less time on email.

Email is an incredibly useful tool. I started my career working as a

journalist and I learned to report before a lot of people had access to email.

It was a very different experience. Trying to get people on the phone

was often tough. Sources would call you back while you were on the phone with

someone else, so there's a lot of phone tag. And since you often had to go through gatekeepers to get people on the phone,

it was tempting to keep calling the same people you knew would talk with you.

Email has opened this all up. Everyone is more accessible.

This is awesome in some ways,

and it's also a problem in some other ways.

Accessibility means anyone can email anyone anywhere in the world at any time.

And so we do.

I don't have to tell you that email overload is the cause of an incredible amount of workplace stress.

People feel constantly behind.
