Email Efficiency Tip: Sort (rather than work) your email

Efficiency Tip: Sort (rather than work) your email

Please forward this tip to every e-mailer you know… Let’s help each other be more efficient.

Here’s the tip:

Too many emailers confuse “sorting” email with “working” email. When you go into your inbox, open it with the intention of SORTING. Don’t get romanced into the need to knock a few off the list. This is one of the reasons people feel like they’re not getting stuff done — it is because they spend too much time on the wrong stuff! Then, when you sort, put them somewhere. DO NOT leave them in your inbox. If you need more help on how to do this, click here.
