Twice daily (or other specified interval based on email response time
requirements), starting with your highest priority email first, quickly act on
each Inbox message or determine when you want to act on it:
Act Immediately?
Act Later?
No action required?
The end result will be a cleared Inbox and a prioritized task list, allowing you to focus on your work rather than your email.
Tip
Act Immediately?
If the message doesn't have a Topic assigned to it, assign one.
IMS will link all future emails, tasks and appointments to this Topic.
Reply to the message if you can do so in a minute or two.
IMS can automatically file the
original message to
a Topic folder for you.
Delegate the email to someone else as
appropriate.
If no response is required, review the message and
file it to a Topic folder.
Act Later?
If the message doesn't have a Topic assigned to it, assign one.
IMS will link all future emails, tasks and appointments to this Topic.
Defer messages that you aren't ready to deal with to a later date.

further action on your part.

no interest in.

The end result will be a cleared Inbox and a prioritized task list, allowing you to focus on your work rather than your email.
