5 Tips for Keeping Your Inbox Empty
5 Tips for Keeping Your Inbox Empty
Does your Inbox always seem to be overflowing with messages? Here are 5 tips for managing your Inbox to keep it empty.
1. DELETE any message after scanning the from and subject line that is not needed or obvious SPAM.
2. DELEGATE any message or task that requires delegation by forwarding the message to the appropriate person.
3. DEFER messages that are not immediately actionable.
4. RESPOND to all messages that will take less than 2 minutes of your time.
5. DO all messages that are left in your Inbox. After you DELETE, DELEGATE, DEFER and RESPOND the only messages left in your Inbox are items that you will work on today.
These tips will help you maintain an empty Inbox. There are applications that can be added to help with the delegating and deferring steps. SaneBox and Getting Things Done are some examples of these types of applications.
I hope you will find this post informative and useful. I am looking forward to hearing your comments. That’s all I have for today, until next time make it a great day!
