I save 1 hour every day by using simple email tricks! I sometimes get hundreds of emails a day. I used to get sucked in and spend hours sorting them out. I invariably ended up having a day when nothing seemed to be getting done. Over time, I discovered and started using these tricks and now I feel completely in control and save many hours every week. Find out how.
*1. Do not work with your mail box open.* Do NOT leave your mail box open when you are working. You will end up checking every new mail that arrives and deal with it immediately. Give more respect to your work. Do not let emails disturb you and break your flow unless your work IS checking mail. I am NEVER able to stick to my schedule if I work with my mail box open. Also, if you are working on something important and an important mail pops in, not only does it take away focus and attention but is also a waste of time because you are anyway going to respond to it later after you have finished the task on hand. Just knowing that an important mail has come in does not help at all! *2. Using MS Outlook (not outlook express) to manage all your email accounts – company, yahoo, gmail, ymail, etc.* There are huge benefits of doing this. Doing this alone saves me 15-20 minutes every day. • You do not need to login again and again into separate accounts to check mail. • When you are sending mail, Outlook allows you to choose the email ID you want to send from. • All your mails are in one Outlook account. Therefore if you need to take a back up or transfer account to another PC, it can be done in one shot rather than taking multiple backups. * 3. Use rules to manage incoming emails. * For example my mails coming in from different sources – key customers, partners, Linkedin, Facebook, Mybloglog, Yahoo groups, etc., all get deposited into different folders that I have designated for the same. Makes it easier to respond to and find old emails.
