Manage Your Email

  • Focus on what's genuinely important in a day and do that, before checking your email.
  • Check the email in time blocks, like once every 3 to 4 hours.
  • Discard all impersonal unnecessary emails.
  • Briefly answer messages that require an instant response.
  • Use subject line protocols to speed up communication and for easy searching.
  • Keep only alive messages (hot email) in your inbox.
  • Allocate time daily or weekly to deal with complex replies.
  • Ask people to remove you from their distribution lists that are no longer appropriate.
  • Do not reply to or write an email when you are unsettled or upset.
  • Do not use e-mail for overtly sensitive communication.
