Managing email
We all know how unwieldy email
inboxes can get. Here are some
top tips to help you
Only check emails at the start of your day, about
noon and about 3pm. That ensures you have time
to deal with anything urgent that comes in, but
you're not constantly breaking off to deal with
unimportant work.
Process your emails straight away. Remember
that your inbox is your intray, not a filing cabinet,
so don't use it for items that you consider
reference material. Delete anything unimportant
immediately and transfer information into your
data management programmes straight away.
Archive messages you need to keep and deal with
anything you need to respond to straight away.
Keep emails to five sentences. If you can't convey
your message in five sentences, pick up the
phone and have a conversation.
