E-mail is supposed to help us save time, right? So why do we waste so much time reading and writing e-mail? In her post “10 Tips: My Personal Journey Toward Maintaining Inbox Zero,” Dawn Foster shares sure-fire tips for handling, sorting and deleting e-mail (I’m going to start using Hiveminder from tip #4). Her complete post is worth checking out but if you only implement #1: archive or delete mercilessly, you’ll save time immediately. Some of her other tips are:
- Turn off notifications
- Process in chunks
- Unsubscribe
Excellent post. I am surely going to implement several of these tips.
Keep up the good work!
