“Managing email now accounts
for about half of the average employee’s workday.”
You read that right
HALF.
Four hours a day is spent
on email management.
That is a crazy waste of time.
I receive
about 1,000 emails a day
to my personal inbox.
Clientk readers who email me
(and I do love the emails)
will know that I’m not always the best
at responding.
Why?
Because I spend most of my day
DOING.
I do first
and then reward myself
with email.
That’s the best thing about emails.
They don’t go bad.
Whether I answer them at 9am or 9pm
won’t matter.
Do first.
Check email second.

P.S. the exception is
if I’m between projects
and on a mini-holiday
as Elisha recently found out.
