Tips for "Taming the eMail Dragon"

4 replies
Folks,

Face it! If we are in front of the computer, we deal with email.

I'm currently, "on a mission" to find ways to streamline my email and seize back my day.

Thought this would be a great place to share tips on this topic.

I'll start:

Be disciplined in the morning and don't turn the computer on until after exercising and eating breakfast.

Your turn....
All the best,
D'vorah

    That's a tough one, but I like the prospect because I spend a lot of time on email.

    How about just segmenting an hour of your time a day to email?

    One well known internet marketer doesn't look at his emails until late afternoon. That way he doesn/t get waylaid from the projects he had planned

    Email can be one big time-waster. I only look at it 2 times a day and deal with it the second time (unless there is a crisis of monstrous proportions that needs to be dealt with NOW). Like so many things, email is a two-edged sword.
