Batchers, who set aside specific chunks of time to work through their email, are significantly more effective when it comes to getting things done. Research shows that they’re less stressed as well.
To avoid filling the email box of staff members, only CC the relevant parties. Ask your team to respond to you individually instead of using the reply-to-all button.
Have someone screen your messages. They can separate the important messages from the less important. You can hire a virtual assistant to handle this job.
Only respond to yesterday’s emails -- unless they’re urgent.
