Managing Time by Managing E-mail
E-mail has become the great blessing—as well as the great curse—of today’s career professionals. Each of us is diluted by more messages coming in than we can comfortably respond to. How can we better manage e-mail so as to better manage our day and our time? In this compelling session, professional speaker Jeff Davidson, who has written such popular books as Breathing Space, SimplerLiving, The Ten Minute Guide to Managing Time, and The 60 Second Organizer, lays out a plan to help you get started immediately.
Jeff discusses the importance of recognizing e-mail as a tool, not the driving force behind how you plan your day. He describes how to set up and use a file-folder system that will instantly make you more efficient. He discusses an e-mail triage system consisting of four categories that will enable you to quickly winnow down any volume of e-mail messages you receive. He also discusses aspects of preparing and sending e-mails, as well as e-mail etiquette that will help establish you as an effective and productive worker. Don’t let droves of e-mail in your inbox plague you for another day.
