Tips for Managing Email
/My colleague at Cornell, Andrew Quagliata, offers helpful tips for those of us who struggle with managing our daily email:
Don’t check your email immediately after you wake up.
Don’t begin the workday with email.
Open your email applications only during designated times.
Turn off notifications.
Move emails out of your inbox after you read them.
Filter messages.
Establish a priority framework for responding.
Use signatures for common responses.
Send fewer emails.
