Throughout the day, succeed by focusing on your work rather than your email:
By completing the Identify and Manage steps previously, you are free to focus on the work that is most important to you while staying in control of your Inbox.
Tip
Open a Project Dashboard
for one of your important projects. Avoid checking email and work
on your most important tasks.
When you do check on email, group your Inbox by priority (View
> Current View > ClearContext Prioritized by Category) and review only your
highest priority messages (in red and green).
Use the MessageContext to see
emails, appointments and other related tasks to get the full context for
the item you are working on.
By completing the Identify and Manage steps previously, you are free to focus on the work that is most important to you while staying in control of your Inbox.
Only touch your high
priority messages once. Even though you are glancing at these
messages throughout the day, make sure that you act on any email you
open.
