In this track I talk about how thinking of email as a means of communication, rather than a task, can help you feel more in control of your workload.

The biggest contributor to stress is feeling out of control. Email is one area many people feel out of control. In this track I talk about shifting how you think about email as part of a strategy to regain that sense of control. A text version of this track was first published in June 2012 and edited in April 2017. This post was added to the Email Overwhelm series in 2021.You can find the text post at: JoVanEvery.co.uk/email-is-not-urgent.Other posts in the series:• jovanevery.co.uk/collective-email-overwhelm/• jovanevery.co.uk/not-contributing-to-other-peoples-email-overwhelm/• jovanevery.co.uk/email-is-not-urgent/• jovanevery.co.uk/dealing-with-email-is-not-a-task/• jovanevery.co.uk/managing-email-when-youve-rapidly-switched-to-remote-working/• jovanevery.co.uk/email-sign-offsFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoachJoin the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk

You want to do your share of peer review but the requests come in one at a time and need quick responses. In this track I discuss how big decisions about how many reviews you will do in a year and some general criteria for selecting the can make the specific decisions easier. If you are wondering whether you have time to do the review itself, you definitely don't have extra time to spend on making the decision and crafting a response.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/decision-making-peer-reviewOther related tracks: https://soundcloud.com/jovanevery/academic-citizenship-getting-better-at-saying-noFor more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoachJoin the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk

In this track I apply the principles discussed in Managing the energy you use to make decisions to planning. A habit of planning weekly concentrates much of the decision making so you have fewer decisions to make on the fly.Read the post here: jovanevery.co.uk/decision-making-planning-schedulingFor more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoachJoin the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk

Decisions require energy. Habits, routines, and default responses reduce the energy you need to spend making decisions. This track explains the principles. Specific examples will be explained in separate tracks. I initially wrote this for members of the Academic Writing Studio in early 2021. I was prompted to publish it when I wrote Overcommitted? Declaring a moratorium, an example of using a default response to reduce the energy you spend making decisions.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/managing-energy-decisions/Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoachJoin the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk
