Email is one of my main communication methods and in a quest to try and improve my productivity, I am going to start a little experiment into getting the most out of email. Hopefully, this is going to lead to an ebook that I have been planning for a while. This ebook will outline my methodology for dealing with Email in the most productive way based upon my experience and knowledge gained from the books and methods I have studied.
So, to start this experiment, I am recording the number of times I check email per day, over a few days. I am out on a client site today so probably will not check it as much as if I was in the office.
I get the feeling that this will be the start of a great series of blog posts regarding email productivity.
You need to check your email just as often as you need to (to stay in CONTROL), but not more frequently than that Otherwise, you are just interrupting yourself.
