Organize your Inbox like a pro?
Would you like to know the secret to organize our inbox like a pro? Guessing the answer is heck ya!
Aww or should I say Ugh?
This seems to be the overall feeling that my customers have regarding email management. The task that must be done, but feels like it drains the life out of you someday.
With all the revenue generating tasks they could be doing, many customers are spending far too much time working on email.
This is my secret to get through the inbox in record speed
I read through my email twice daily. Once in the morning around 11 and once in the afternoon/evening when I'm planning the adventures for my next day.
Before you begin start a timer for 25 minutes…
For the first 5 minutes, I go through and sort the emails. They will go into the following folders in my inbox *Act Now, *Hopper, *Sort, or a specific customer. Organizing in this manner allows me to quickly and easily get to inbox zero.
*Act Now
I start with Act Now. Anything in this folder that I can be done in a few minutes I will do it now. Anything else will get a reply that I've received the message, and it will be added to the following day's task list. Psst… make this a template for a quick response.
This allows me to run my day and not be driven by email.
This folder is for all the items that I need to keep around, but do not want it taking up room in the inbox. For example, a webinar that you will attend or an email that I will need to reference in the future.
*Sort
Everything else. It is really just the “archive” folder, but c'mon I can't have this folder come before my hopper folder – obviously.
Let me know if these help you Organize Your Inbox Like A Pro!
