Email efficiency tip: View your inbox to SORT, rather than “work” your new items

People everywhere struggle with how to manage their inboxes. Try this approach:

Sort rather than work.

I liken the viewing of the newly received email as a “sort” function rather than a “work” function. Some items could take a long time to handle, and not be urgent. These should be set up with reminders for the time to start the task and build it into your weekly or daily plan. Kind of like the triage nurse in the hospital’s emergency room – they sign everyone in, then handle in the right priority. Give it a try… You might like it.
