Another silly post for you today but I hope you appreciate the tips! 
(HINT: apply their opposites!)
Here’s the top six ways to waste time with your email, they work pretty well too.
1. Check the Forwarded Message Anyway
You know it’s a chain letter and you also know Sally sends about 4 chain letters a day..but, you don’t want to hurt her feelings. Open the letter anyway, scroll a couple screens to find the actual message or spend 10 minutes looking at the names she’s sent the message to. Once you finally get to the message, spend another 4-20 minutes (depending on the length) reading the message. When you’re done, hit the next button instead of going back to the inbox and looking at the most important messages.
2.Check Your Personal Emails from Work
You do have a pile of files to look at, tons of calls to make..but 5 minutes ain’t gonna do any harm. Logon to your personal email accounts. Start off with gmail or your ISP (You figure that’s where the most important people send you emails). While on GMail, also look at GMail talk and see 3 of your buddies who should be doing work but are checking their GMail’s. Spend the next couple minutes (or hours) talking to them. Then, get back to checking all your other emails because you feel like it.
3. Check your work email again
Good work, you now have 20 more emails to process. Decide you don’t feel like it and that you’ve been sitting on the chair too long and really need a break. Get off your chair and walk over to your buddy’s room and spend sometime there. (We won’t get into the specifics about that because we’re talking about emails and not the other millions of ways to get distracted at work (or your home office))
