7 Strategies to Help Manage Email Overload
Email is my nemesis. I use tools like Clear Context and Xobni to help me manage the email that I have but it still seems to be absolutely overwhelming at times. In my blog perusals today I found a great article on Dr Dewett’s Weekly Column entitled Feeling Bogged Down by Your Email. The strategies he outlines all make great sense…
- Send Less Receive Less
- Say Less to Say More
- Sort Email Using the 80/20 Rule
- Ask to Opt Out of Some Lists
- Manage your Email Time Explicitly
- Put the Burden on Them
- When in Doubt - Save!
I do many of these today and let me tell you from an experience standpoint #1 and #5 have been huge in getting through the piles of email that I receive.
Take a look at his posting and if you’ve got other ideas and advice to offer I would love to hear it!
