How To Deal With Emails Efficiently

Career : Career Techniques

One of the biggest changes between modern life and that in the past is the advent of email.

It is commonplace to receive around 30 emails a day at work. These can be hard to keep up with.

Therefore you need an effective system: try the red, amber, green for emails that you need to action, as follows:

1 - when an email comes into your inbox scan it immediately

2 - decide if it is for INFORMATION or ACTION

3 - if for action today, move it to the RED folder

4 - if for action this week, put in AMBER

5 - if for action, but not urgent, put in GREEN

6 - if just for information, leave it in the inbox, then once a day review inbox messages and move to the appropriate subfolder

7 - ensure you reply to all RED messages once a day, and review AMBER and GREEN every couple of days
