NOTE

Efficient Email Management Strategies

Efficient email management involves treating emails like laundry - aim for 'inbox zero' to ensure that all emails are addressed promptly. Just like doing laundry efficiently by folding and sorting clothes immediately, emails should be responded to or organized into baskets based on actions needed. By batching similar tasks together and setting aside specific time to review and respond to emails, productivity is enhanced. This approach reduces the need to repeatedly check emails and ensures that important emails are promptly addressed, leading to better organization and reduced email-related anxiety.
