In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sarah Tetlow discuss:
- Why email is so important and so readily used by lawyers.
- Ways to manage your inbox to make it effortless.
- What ARTT stands for and how it can help you manage your inbox.
- Tips for better managing your email.
Key Takeaways:
- Treat your email like a mixed bag of jellybeans. Keep only your favorites (what needs to be done) in your inbox and keep them from being buried.
- You have the choice of what to do with what comes into your inbox - Action, Reference, Tracking, or Trash.
- If you’re overwhelmed and bogged down with thousands of emails, get some help to get it cleared out, utilize your filters or quick steps, and only touch once.
- Some things are better communicated through phone or a meeting than they are through email.
"There are three Touch Once - you should touch the email one time only. Those are your actions, your reference archival, and then it's your delete." — Sarah Tetlow
