What is your average response time to emails?
I try to answer all my emails in a timely manner. Or I send them to my assistant if it's something that may require a few replies (and something she can handle). But I try to get my inbox cleared out pretty quickly.
With that being said.. I occasionally get emails from individuals inquiring about one thing or another and then follow up with another email one hour later wondering why I hadn't replied yet.
Some time management books or articles say you should check your inbox once or twice a day. Which doesn't seem really feasible (actually, seems incredulous)
So, while I took the long way around to the question.. the question is: What is your average response time to emails? Do you prioritize your inbox or are all emails equal?
