When sitting down to design one's life happiness is a worthy goal. In today's world our online life requires a large amount of attention and as such has a large influence on us, namely our happiness.

The question I'd like to ask is whether it is more likely to make you happy if you have one queue of e-mail messages that incorporates your work and personal life.

A pro argument could be made that by incorporating them you are creating a holistic smooth lifestyle. Such an argument is similar to advocating living near your workplace and having friendships with co-workers outside of the office.

An easy counter argument could be made that the workplace is a natural greenhouse of tension and by separating personal and business you are more likely to separate happiness from tension.

Ideas?
