Projects Possible

You know I am always looking for productivity tips and tricks, particularly in the area of email since I am literally inundated with hundreds of them a day.  In the area of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) - 43 Folders shares their 5 tips.   Elegantly simple yet absolutely right on track…  I can honestly say that I practice all of these and with great success.   My favorite is 1 and 5.  Check less often and if you have no intention of doing anything with the email just file it! - either the circular file (ie. delete) or into a folder.

1. Shut off auto check
2. Pick off easy ones
3. Write less
4. Cheat
5. Be honest

When you are there you might also check out the little Related area just to the right of the article.  You will find a couple of other great nuggets of email productivity information there as well. 

Remember that email should be a tool that enables communication.  What I am finding in this day and age is that while people certainly communicate it is becoming ever more difficult to get things done as you read through the avalanche of email with useless, unnecessary communication. We’ve reached communication overload because it is so easy now.   Stay productive by incorporating a few of these useful tips.
