The Most Critical Email Management Technique is…Patience VIDEO

In this video, Dr. Melissa Gratias reads an excerpt from her book, ‘Conquer Your Email Today…because there is no tomorrow. Are you sending out too many emails? Listen to Dr. Gratias as she expands on her concept of how patience can be a valuable tool in your email management efforts.

Excerpt from, ‘Conquer Your Email Today…because there is no tomorrow

One of the most effective, and little-used, email reduction techniques is patience. Most of the time, a single daily or weekly status report that summarizes recent decisions and actions can replace tens or even hundreds of email messages sent and received.  This status report email can be saved as a draft, added to over time and sent when the stockpiled questions and updates reach a critical mass.  If everything in your work feels urgent and worthy of its own, in-the-moment, email, you may want to consult with your boss or colleagues to find out if your perceptions of what constitutes an emergency match their beliefs.

Interruptions can kill productivity. With one “Got a minute?” from a coworker or one stray thought swirling in your brain, the flow of your work can be completely disrupted.

The trouble is that few people have concrete strategies to get back on task quickly after an interruption. Some people completely lose focus…for hours! If you have tried reducing interruptions, but they still impact your ability to be effective at work, this free webinar is for you.
