Discover surprising ways that people handle their email time management (3:35-5:25)

A lot of people in the workplace are spending a lot of time on emails. Studies show that 42% of the workforce is spending three hours or more replying to emails. This statistic is actually a clear insight on how many professionals and leaders in the workplace are very disorganized about communication. Spending that much time every day on email is a major distraction and poses a huge problem in the work environment.

Learn how to declutter your email for great results and better work experience. (7:50- 10:20)

One of the easiest decluttering strategies for emails is not treating your inbox as a to-do list. It is easy to look at an email that needs your attention and make a mental note to get back to it the following day. So, you leave the email opened and move on to the next one. You do this to four emails in a row and before you know it, you are already confused as to what you were supposed to do with each email. That set of emails remain unattended to and just keep piling up in your inbox. It helps to make an actual note on your calendar and then delete the email to enable you to move to the next.

Learn the importance of “changing the subject line” on your emails for better email management and communication (10:29-13:00)

It is easy to look at the subject line of an email and think you have already attended to that when in fact there is a thread of new information you are yet to see. Also, this wastes a lot of time as you will have to go through a thread of say 15 emails to find one detail when it is asked for. To avoid this, change the subject line of the email as the conversation progresses. This will help you know the exact mail to refer back to and also keep your information better organized for reference purposes.
