It’s so easy to quickly reply to email as soon as you receive it. Consider scheduling times to process email throughout the day. Otherwise, you may end up buried in your inbox! If you are working on a critical project, consider using an Outlook Alert to let others know you won’t be processing email until a specific time. Here are tips to consider when processing email.
- Delete It
- Delegate It – Can this be assigned as a task or forwarded?
- Do It – Will it only take a few minutes to process? Do it now.
- Delay It – Calendar the item or put on your task list, so you will remember it later.
