How to manage email stress

JANUARY 15, 2017

A study found that one in three office workers suffers from email stress. Is that you? Making a decision the first time you open an email is crucial for good time management.
I advise and encourage practising the “four Ds”:

1. Delete: you can probably delete half the emails you get immediately.
2. Do: if the email is urgent or can be completed quickly.
3. Delegate: if the email can be better dealt with by someone else.
4. Defer: set aside time later to spend on emails that require longer action.

I found these suggestions I can’t remember where – sorry. I do not take credit for them but I flippin LOVE them – they are #brilliant.

Lets talk soon…
