Need inspiration to manage your email inbox? The Email Game makes this task easy and fun! Simply enter your email address and login. Take action on each email message within the 45 seconds given. The clock counts down, prompting you to work through your email. Note the different smiley face emoticons as you work to determine your progress. Though some might find the countdown stressful, the action of the clock reduces other distractions and your focus is on email alone. Sometimes it is best to read and react to emails rather than being distracted by videos, etc.
