Perpetually buried in email? Here's a quick and easy tip that may help you out...
SEND less email!
Sure, it's not the be-all and end-all to your problems.
But there's no question about it...
When I get on a email-sending binge, I pay for it later BIG TIME... in the form of all those replies.
Which then multiples the problem!
So before you dive into your pile and start firing off replies or new email messagess, think carefully about what you're doing and alternate options for each one.
Can a quick visit to the office next door solve this? How about a 30 second phone call? Has it already been addressed in a later email? Or will benign neglect work out just fine.
Try it out! Just keep telling yourself "The delete key is my friend, the delete key is my friend!"
