Can't Keep Up

I was out sick yesterday. 

Today, back in the office, I have to catch up on emails on two different networks. 

I started my day with 25 emails to actively work (after triaging the inboxes and archiving/deleting what didn't need my direct input). I've been working for three hours on just emails and now have 40 emails to actively work. I read an email, research/respond, and then two or three more emails come in while I'm responding to the one.

What. Is. Going. On?!
