Does this sound familiar?
“I routinely declare email bankruptcy and simply delete my entire inbox. But even so, I currently have 2,433 unread emails in my inbox. Plus another 721 in my Facebook inbox. and about thirty skype message windows open with unanswered messages. It goes without saying, of course, that my cell phone voicemail box is also full (I like the fact that new messages can’t be left there, so I have little incentive to clear it out).
How do I deal with email now? I scan the from and subject fields for high payoff messages. People I know who don’t waste my time, or who I have a genuine friendship with. Or descriptive subject lines that help me understand that I should allot a minute or more of my life to opening it and reading it.”
Wow. Talk about a dysfunctional way of handling communications! Are you having problems like this? Here are a couple of ideas…
- Use Gmail. No other ISP offers the tools to handle large volumes of email like Gmail…
- Read ‘Getting Things Done’ by David Allen. If you’re in a hurry, skip to #3…
- Check out Inbox Zero…
If you can’t implement it on your own, scroll down and give me a call — I’ll be happy to help you out…
