How many emails do you get in a day, a week, a month. What happens when you go on vacation and don't take your computer. Do the emails number in the hundreds?
Amy Schulman, partner at DLA Piper Rudnick, Gray, Cary has this advice for quickly devoring your emails:
Divide them into four categories:
1. emails you can send to someone else
2. emails that contain information someone is waiting for to move forward on a project
3. emails you can read later
4. emails you need to respond to immediately.
When you group your emails into categories like those Amy suggests, you'll be able to focus on those that require your immediate attention.
Remember - if you touch it - do something with it (pitch, file, delegate or respond) so you don't have to deal with it later.
