Answer Upon - 4 Tips On Taming Your Email
There is a belabored clich? that says, “It’s lonely at the top.” This reference is for business owners and leaders. It even applies to ecommerce.The reason leadership is lonely is often because the leader of any organization must make decisions that will not please everyone and it’s often easier to not develop friendships with your employees than to risk losing that friendship because of decisions you may have to make.However, the good news is leaders can learn from the very things they may desire themselves, but never

Keep in mind that this article is designed to help you manage your emails related to work.

Do yourself a favor and set one up for your personal activities, like shopping on-line, or subscribing to ezines for your outside interests. That way, you won’t waste precious time weeding through the latest sales offers from Amazon while you are trying to concentrate on work.
Tip #1 – Handle each message once if at all possible
Treat the email like a piece of paper. If it is short enough for you to read on the screen, decide what action you need to take to “handle” it. If it was an information only message, then either file it or delete it afterwards. Do not just leave it in your in-box for later because it will take you more time to read it again and figure out what to do.

One credit union I worked with on strategic planning was so proud of the previous year's plan, it was bound, had a fancy cover and was a document they were eager to show everyone.Once I started breaking it down, I soon realized how this fancy document was essentially hollow and with even further exploration found barely any of the goals and objectives had even been attempted. The executive team and board were much more focused on creating a document than in creating a tool. We had plenty of work to do to really get a strategic

This question was put to me last week, and while it was simple enough for me to answer at a seminar, it was also thought provoking and occupied my mind for much of the journey home. This is because by far the bulk of information I receive in my mailbox each day is related to making money on the Internet.How many times have you seen Websites, e-mails, and newsletters start their headline with the following words:How to Make Money......and continue with words like, ‘on the Internet', ‘from your Web

We have all been in a conversation or worked with someone, and we've all had something to say but debated whether we should even bother saying it. Or maybe you had an idea or advice to give and thought, "Should I say it or not? Ah, forget it, they probably don’t want to hear it, and it will probably just cause an argument. It isn't worth it."Before you stop to answer whether it is worth bringing up or not, consider these statistics: An average employee loses seven weeks of productivity every year because of trouble

Tip #2 – Don’t be stingy with folders
In order to file a message you want to keep, you have to have a destination for it. The only reason why you want to file something is if you think you want to access the information again. So, the easier it is for you to find it, the more efficient you will be. Create as many folders and sub-folders as you need in order to expedite your search for the information in the future. It will take way less time to find a particular message in a folder with 30 items versus 300 items.
Tip #3 – Don’t be an email pack-rat
Are you someone who saves every message just in case you will need it later? If you are, break yourself of that habit right now! Unless you have to retain documents for compliance reasons, the “just in case” scenario does not happen often enough to warrant the clutter you are creating for yourself. When you surround yourself with clutter, it drains energy from you, and clutters your mind. So, be very selective about what you need to keep. And I will bet you money that if you really needed something that you didn’t keep, you can find another copy (usually from the originator) pretty easily.
Tip #4 – Leave ONLY messages that you need to act on in your “Inbox”
Having an Inbox with hundreds of messages will overwhelm anyone. And being in overwhelm is not going to help your productivity or your mind-set. So, if you still have to read that 10 page email you received, leave it in your Inbox u
