![A colourful four panel comic about emails and overwhelm. In the first panel, a narrator talks to the main character. The narrator says, 'So you finally managed to get a handle on your emails, huh?' The main character, Bex, nods excitedly.
In the second panel, the narrator continues, 'You've been replying to them within a reasonable timeframe of 0-2 days? I bet you think you're pretty good at this!' Bex responds with a confident thumbs up, glowing with the satisfaction of her achievements.
In the third panel, Bex's phone starts blowing up with multiple emails. The phone dings obnoxiously as she struggles to keep hold of it, unnerved and taken aback by the sudden interruption. The narrator continues, 'Now get ready for multiple people in one email chain!'
In the final panel, the phone keeps dinging and multiple messages come pouring in. Bex looks exhausted and dejected while she reads the emails, realising that she's going to struggle to keep up with this new pace.](https://images.prismic.io/wellcomecollection/2a902d2d-095d-47d3-a9ca-a41dc65cd872_CC.png?w=1338&auto=compress%2Cformat&rect=&q=100)
