Is Your Inbox Flooded?

Many areas of the country have been devastated by too much rain recently. All work stops as people struggle with clean-up efforts and dealing with the after-effects. Many businesses are dealing with a flood of a different nature...

The ever-growing flood of information threatens to bring some business to a halt. At the very least, it is a drain on productivity. We all know that email is the source of much of that information. I highly recommend reading "The Hamster Revolution" by Mike Song, Vicki Halsey & Tim Burress.

The book has a chart that details the amount of time you can save be reducing email by 20%. Did you know that if you receive just 30 emails a day, that's 7,200 emails every year, or about 30 days every year spent dealing with email? What if one-third of those emails are a waste of time? Well, you're wasting 10 days a year on email.

What if you reduced your emails by 20%? Can you see how your productivity would automatically improve? During the time you have freed up, you can focus on a personal and professional goal that will take you to a new level.
