I have a process for work email that used to work fairly well.

I like my Inbox to be an Inbox…….not a Stay There For a Long Time Box.

An email comes in…..

• I skim through it.

• If the email requires nothing from me and I don’t need it for future reference, I delete it.

• If it requires a response or a quick action that takes less than 1 minute of my time, I go ahead and do it immediately.

• If it requires a response or action from me that takes longer than 1 minute, I copy it into a Task for me to work on at a future time.

• If it doesn’t require action from me, but I could need the email for future reference I move it into an archive folder.

Unfortunately, that process isn’t working anymore.

I am drowning in email.

I have to try something different. Maybe set aside certain times of the day to process email.

Anyone else drowning in email? Any suggestions?
