So, how much does email cost you?

Err, isn't it free?

1-2 hours a day

10 IQ points

Brrn, no! Gmail charges practically $0, but McKinsey found email consumes 28% of our working day.

Correct! The University of London found that constant online interruptions drop your IQ (oh hello, inbox notifications). Even if you ignore them.

Correct! Harvard University estimates that we lose 1-2 hours every day to distractions. (Your inbox is part of the reason a 2 hour task list takes 4 hours.)

Breef has been an email game-changer for me. It prevents the mental whiplash of going through a messy inbox.

Joe Nardi

Scrolling review of emails is like nothing you have ever experienced before. My email anxiety is at an all time low.

Sasha Torres

I use Breef to fly through my inbox and get rid of all the irritating and time-consuming detritus that collects there in about 1/3 of the time it used to take me. Then I can focus on what's actually important. It's immeasurably reduced my anxiety around the Sisyphean daily task that is email.

Angus Burnett

I think anybody would find this useful for the speed it gives them to go through emails but if you know the simple keyboard shortcuts that already work for Gmail, it makes sorting through your emails an absolute breeze. I can't believe nobody has ever thought of this before.
