Overwhelmed by e-mail?
Posted: 2007-10-22 Under: General
Being an organization that relies on email for communication with clients, prospects, suppliers and friends; we spend a lot of time in our favourite email client (we also get a lot of junk mail). Some times we get completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of emails (junk and non-junk) we get in a day. If your in the same boat, here are some resources that might help.
- Fridays go from casual to e-mail-free, seems that Intel recently declared Fridays Zero Email Day!. E-mail isn’t forbidden, but everyone is encouraged to phone or meet face-to-face. The goal is more direct, free-flowing communication and better exchange of ideas.
- Keith Robinson gives some tips on becoming a good e-mail responder. Ever wonder what causes that sinking feeling of dread just before you open your e-mail client? Is it the hundreds of new messages that will mock you in all their need-a-response-asap, unread glory?
- Want to get a little deeper in the personal organization world, try the the Getting Things Done book by David Allen. Getting Things Done rests on the principle that a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them somewhere. That way, the mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that needs to be done, and can concentrate on actually performing those tasks.
