This session will teach you Laura’s Top Ten Strategies for Email Management.
- Reducing: reducing the volume of inbound messages
- Filtering: automatically removing, moving, or filing certain types of communication
- Converting: switching emails into meetings or to-do items
- Prioritizing: triaging the actions inside the emails and knowing what to do next
- Writing: responding quickly with emails that are actually read
- Scheduling: blocking out time to work on email without having it take over your day
- Alternating: using other tools except email to complete certain tasks
- Speeding: using templates, quicksteps, multi-actions, and short keys to perform email tasks more efficiently
- Emptying: learning a step-by-step process to get to Inbox Zero every day (where do they go?)
- Saving: stop using email folders and find what you want when you want it (no, your inbox is not a filing system either)
Book this session if you’ve ever asked yourself, “What do I do when I…” or “How do I…”
- Already have an appointment on my calendar and someone sends another email related to it. How do I keep from copying/pasting all the time?
- Want to copy an appointment from one day to another in one click?
- Update the Start Date on a Task without opening the Task?
- Have a Task already created, and then I get an email with additional instructions about it. How do I merge the two?
- See my calendar while I’m in an email, so I don’t have to keep switching back and forth?
- Am right in the middle of typing an email and promise someone I will do something. How can I make a reminder about that while I’m creating the email so I don’t forget?
- Have thousands of emails in my inbox (I’ve been using my inbox like a filing cabinet) and am feeling overwhelmed?
- Covet “Inbox Zero” but have no idea what that means or how to get there?
- Want to put an appointment from my calendar directly on to someone else’s calendar without sending a meeting invitation?
- Save my emails using a logical framework without creating a bunch of useless file folders I never reference?
- Sent someone an email and don’t want to forget to follow up or try to remember to get the answer. How can I have the system notify me?
- Have a question to ask a group of people, and I want them to “vote” without getting a million “Reply All” answers.
- Want to keep my inbox empty but can’t keep up? I need a new processing methodology and email organizing system!
- Want to reduce my inbox of all duplicate conversations without losing anything that has new content?
- Only keep the last couple months of emails in my mailbox, while archiving the older data, but still be able to pull up my old messages.
- Execute multiple commands at one time for an email, such as reply, print, and delete.
- Stop copying myself on replies, so I can file and find emails again?
- Only want to be alerted when important people send me messages and ignore the rest?
