The 4 Ds of Email Management

When you are suffering from email overload and your inbox is full to overflowing, it is time to remember the 4 Ds.

Delete

Once you have read through your email anything that is obviously rubbish or you do not need DELETE immediately!

Do

Anything that can be dealt with within two minutes, DO IT.

Defer

If it is too complicated to answer straight away, defer it. Put it into your calendar at a time when you can give it your full attention.

Delegate

My favourite! Send it on to someone else to deal with on your behalf!

What are your strategies for dealing with email?
