Saving Time

Hi I had a quote sent to me the other day "If you want to waste 2 hours go into your computer for 5 minutes" Now how true is that. In fact I would take it one step further and say go into your emails and waste hours!

In my coaching practice I work with lots of people who literally are slaves to their email. Here are some tips if your a slave to help you take control.
  • Set aside time each day just for emails (no more than 1 hour)
  • Be rigid with this hour do not be tempted outside of that time
  • When you go into your inbox do 1 of 3 things Dump Delegate or Deal.
  • Never have more than 30 emails sitting in your in box at the end of your hour (and these should all have been read and awaiting further action or for reference)

Give it a go don't be a slave!

Warmest Wishes

Darren
