4 Tips On Taming Your Email
Copyright 2005 Inez Ng
I remember when I was first introduced to email. I was
working in a big corporation at the time. I thought it was
the neatest thing since sliced bread. I hit a button and
the message is sent instantaneously. What could be better?
Since then, my feelings towards email are somewhat
modified. I still think the technology is great, but I
have witnessed too many people getting stressed out by the
sheer volume of communications via this medium to know that
for some it can sometimes be a curse instead of a blessing.
Since none of us is expecting a reduction in the volume of
email we will receive, you may find the following tips
helpful in helping gain control over your email.
Keep in mind that this article is designed to help you
manage your emails related to work. If you do not have
separate email accounts for your work and personal life, my
very first suggestion is to get that set up right now.
There are numerous options for free email accounts. 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.
Unfortunately, a good percentage of the messages I used to
get were multi-pages long with multiple attachments. In
those cases, I found it very difficult to read the contents
on the screen. My suggestion is to print out the entire
content and quickly decide if you want to deal with it now
or later.
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 until you have read it and know what you have to do.
But if you've already read that concise one page message
from your boss and answered her question, then either
delete it, or move it to a subject folder.
When I was in the corporate world, I had an objective of
keeping my Inbox to fewer than 30 items because I know that
I would start to feel out-of-control when there are too
many items in there. And I would feel very proud of myself
when I get the list to 15 or fewer because that meant that
I was very close to getting "caught up".
There you have it - these are the top 4 things I do to keep
my email under control. If you found this information
useful and would like more tips on this subject, let me
know (via email, I suppose) and I'll let you in on more of
my secrets in a follow-up article.
