This begins our series in discussing the main factors that can affect your personal business productivity. Whether you are efficient or not, we have found there is always opportunity for “continuous improvement” – managing your emails is no exception. Here are some important things to consider, when you are looking to maximize your email productivity:

Don’t start off first thing in the morning in email
If you do start off an email, you may probably find that your time will quickly evaporate because email tends to take us in many different directions and must be managed with some discipline.

Please make sure you first have your day set for what activities/meetings, etc. you will be involved in. Once that is completed, then it is safe to start managing your emails. Always keeping in mind, the schedule for activities you have set for the day. This is especially true on Monday morning which sets the tone for the entire week. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay in control of your work day.

More to come, Lord willing, in our next blog on effective email management.
