The first step to eliminating email overload is to take time to reflect on your values and your personal and professional goals.
Recognize that YOU WILL NEVER CATCH UP and be current with all of the amazing information that is available to you.
You (and only you) must choose what is worth your time to read and respond to.
Three tips to help eliminate email overload:
-
Be clear on your priorities for the day BEFORE you open your email. Avoid letting other people’s priorities take over your day!
-
Use folders and rules to sort & organize your email.
-
Unsubscribe to things that you are not making time to read (even if you are genuinely interested in the topic!) You will always be able to find up to date information by doing a quick web search.
