This week's productivity focus is on email. Though necessary for business and personal communication, email can consume a large part of your day. Here's how to free 1.------- more time in your working day by minimizing your email use. First, check your email at designated times. This could be anywhere from once a day, to once an hour, depending on your needs. After you set your email times, limit yourself to checking only during these times. Otherwise, you could be tempted to use email as an excuse for 2.------- other projects. Second, try to take action on each email as you read it. Do not leave it to be filed later. If it will only take a few minutes to respond to the email, do it immediately. Otherwise, dele t e it, file it in your To-Do folder, or 3.------- it to someone else. Continue this until your inbox is empty. Finally, be sure to keep up this process regularly. If you are diligent in han dling email in a systematic way, you will avoid getting overwhelmed with too much email in your inbox. Good luck! |
