• The average professional sends and receives over 190 messages each day (Balance Magazine)

• An average U.S. household receives 1,800 catalogs alone in the mail each year — about 500 pounds worth. (San Antonio Express News)

• 68% of U.S. Executives said they are working more hours today than 5 years ago (Office Pro)

• 47% of users now take their laptops on vacation… and 27% check their email (AOL).

• New research shows that women are actually more overworked than men, based upon the degree to which women are expected to multi- task. (Families and Work Institute)
