Our goal is to provide informative blogs to enhance your knowledge of the chosen topic of month. This month we will feature Time Management.
When I started in the professional speaking business in the 80s as a motivational speaker and trainer, I worked with Bill Brooks at The Brooks Group. We conducted Time Management Seminars …long time management sessions! We usually did three (3) days, eight (8) hours daily to enrich participants’ lives. Actually, I think we numbed them into time management robots! Apologies to those who sat through the long sessions!
I have found that time management principles never change – technology does. People rarely have a good grip on their skills. Here are some tips for Effective Emailing:
1. In everything time management, always think, do I: Do It - Delegate It or - Dump It
2. Delete unwanted, spam, and non-essential emails before you open any others. – Dump It!
3. Flagging can be used as a delaying tactic instead of taking immediate action – Do It!
4. If the email needs to be forwarded to another person – Delegate It!
I remember the great time management training back in the 80's!! :)
