Listen Later

Control Your Email.

Here’s how.

1.  Create 4 new folders

2.  Delete everything in your inbox

3. Only do emails 3 times a day

1.  Create 4 new folders

Folder 1 is Awaiting Urgent Reply

Folder 2 is Immediate Response

Folder 3 is General

Folder 4 is Marketing

Now if you put an exclamation mark ! in front of those words, they should appear at the top of yout folder list and not in alphabetical order way down the list of other folders you might have already created.

2. Delete everything in your inbox.  Yes you heard me.  Your inbox should say zero emails.

Go for it. It's Refreshing.  You could move everything into General in one fell swoop or you could allocate chosen emails to folders - takes longer but it might be for you.  Even if you put them into General you can still search for them

3. Only do your emails 3 times a day.

Between 0600 and 0700

Then at 11am

Then at 4pm
