3. Don’t check email first thing in the morning, or have it constantly on.
Keeping email open and checking it frequently is totally counter productive.
Shedule email time and keep it that way. Be consistent and assertive.

4. When you check your email, dispose of each one, one
at a time, right away.
Email management is about making decisions fast. Open each email and make quick decisions based on
GTD methodology. Turn email into ‘to dos’, calendar events, reference material or trash them. Simple!#2

5. If you can respond to it in a minute or two, do so immediately.
It is my golden rule. If I can do something in less than two minutes I must do
it. I mean, I want to do it. This rule also applies to emails.

6. Be mindful and focus on your emails
Focus on the present task. If it’s digesting your inbox – do it mindfully. This is one of
the key factors in productivity. Turn off notifications and focus on what you gotta do.

7. Less is more. Keep your emails short and sweet.
I challenge myself to answer all emails with 1-5 sentences. Keeping emails short
means it’s quick to reply. It also teaches you precision and clear thinking.
