Here's how to implement the 'Touch Email Once' method using the 4 D's, and regain control of your time.
More...
Delete: If it's not essential, hit delete. And while you're at it, unsubscribe from unwanted senders.
If the email is something you want to keep, but requires no action, then file it.
Delegate it: If someone else can handle it, forward it and free up your time.
Do it: If it takes less than two minutes, respond immediately. Otherwise, defer it.
Defer it: Schedule it on your calendar. Take control of your time by deciding when to tackle it.
Start your day with a focused plan:
- Review your calendar tasks.
- Add key tasks to your focus list.
- Use any extra time to get ahead.
