Get A Grip On Your E-Mail
Here is a startling bit of arithmetic: If you get and send 100 e-mails a day, that adds up to 24,000 messages annually, on which you probably spend an average of 100 workdays.
If you could manage to reduce the amount of e-mail you send and receive by 20%, you’d free up 20 workdays a year to use for other things, like thinking up new ideas that could help further your career or, heck, taking a longer vacation.
So how can you cut back on the time e-mail takes up, not to mention the aggravation it can cause?
- Send less.
- Quit boomeranging.
- Stop – then send.
- Be polite, up to a point.
- Schedule live conversations.
