Email Management Did you know that thinking about the way you handle email can save you an amazing amount of time?
Well it can!
It’s easier then you think.
Email Management Do you ever feel like this when opening your inbox?
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Email Management
First Rule – You do not have to read and respond to most email messages as soon as they arrive.
I know this can be a difficult habit to change – but believe me, if you can – you will save an amazing amount of time and become more productive.
Email Management Here is what happens if you try to answer every email as it arrives.
1. You are minding your own business and working at your desk.
2. “Ta-da” a message arrives in your inbox.3. You stop working on your original task and open the
email.4. You read it.5. You consider what action to take. Does it need a
response? What is the sender asking for? Do you respond now? Do you take the time to find the information the sender wants. Do you take the time to write a response.
6. Once you are done responding you have to stop and think, “what was a doing before that email?”
7. Then you have to start the original task all over again.Each and every time you go through this process you are losing time!
Email Management Controlling Your Email and Becoming a More Productive – Happier Person.
Pick 4 times a day that you read and respond to email.
For me I try to stick to (1) first thing in the morning, (2) mid morning, (3) after lunch and (4) at the end of the day.
Handling your email in this fashion will save you time!
Try this!
Email Management Following Good – Sound Email Rules Will Protect You.

2. The reader of your document will see what you intended.
