4D Formula for Email Management
by Alan Freitas

Besides this one, how many emails are in your inbox right now? How long have some of them been there, and how many have you opened before?

Try applying the 4D formula for email management.

  1. Do it now (if it can be done quickly).

  2. Decide when (put it on your to-do list for some future date, and save it in another folder).

  3. Delegate it (forward it on to someone else to deal with).

  4. Delete it (perhaps your first choice for most emails).

Now every time you go into your email inbox, everything in there will be new.

Coaching Call to Action

Many of my clients are choosing this month to declutter and get on top of paper and email. Alan’s suggestion is right on. This morning I opened my e-mail with a cup of tea in hand, scanned them, quickly read the ones that looked interesting, then went on to another task. Thirty minutes later I was back rereading those emails I had just read. What a waste of time! Alan’s question - how many have you opened before? - rang very true for me. I’m committing to changing this habit today. What will you commit to so that you are managing your email?

Community Involvement

Morning of Coaching a Success!

A big thanks to all of you who called in Wednesday for your free 30 minute coaching session to celebrate the Tenth Annual International Coaching Week. It was great to meet new people and to reconnect with others. Here’s what some of you said:

    “Thanks for your direction, support, and validation. I realized I was further along the path than I thought.”
    “Eye opening. I saw things in a whole new way!”
    “Your focused and direct approach helped me identify what’s holding me back.”
    “I got the new perspective of looking at things for the benefit and value of others, not just for myself.”

If you were unable to make Wednesday’s session and this is the time for you to try out coaching, go to Complimentary Coaching Session and sign up.
