How to combine PROCESSING and DOING?
Marvin | Mar 12 2006
Hi, my work is most of the time at computer, and my InBox keeps receiving numerous e-mails as I am doing anything else. Many items from the InBox do require immediate attention and many are those 2-minutes stuff. But if I look at the new messages as they arrive, I end up on doing only that. On the other had, if I concentrane on doing smth from my next actions, InBox is getting bigger and bigger. And while many messages are important right now, many aren't and can wait. What is your experience? Thanks! 9 Comments

 I process my email in...Submitted by sonia_simone on March 13, 2006 - 10:36am.
I process my email in batches throughout the day (I use a ten-minute timer). I'll do an NA or batch of related NAs, and then run through the email box and process it. Processing every email as it pops up is a significant productivity killer, IME. » POSTED IN:
