BRX Pro Tip: Read Emails Only Once
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Under the umbrella of time management tips or strategies, Lee, I know one of your pieces of counsel is read emails only once.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:15] Yeah. I think as people get more and more busy as things are starting to pick up everywhere, time management becomes more and more important. And people’s emails are getting really out of control, so reading emails only once is definitely something I like to do, and I try to do it all times.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:37] Either reply to it immediately, forward it to the appropriate person to handle it, or move it into a folder that you have blocked so that you can deal with it in the future all at one time, or just delete it. Those are the ways that I typically deal with an email and only deal with a one time.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:00] But something else that I’ve been doing when it comes to time management tips is I’ve been unsubscribing to a bunch of things. So, if I’m seeing something that I’m deleting every time, I just unsubscribe. There’s just too much out there that I’m getting bombarded with. Messaging from people I’m not interested anymore. I might have been interested before, but I’m not interested anymore, so I unsubscribe. If I’m seeing something that I’m deleting every time I see that email, I’m unsubscribing because it’s just one less piece of stimulus that I don’t have to deal with.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:34] So, I’m trying to stay as focused as possible on the things that matter most and get some of this clutter out of my viewpoint.
