Anyone else having problems replying to emails?
Laura M. | Oct 26 2005
I'm so bad replying to emails. They just keep piling. I read them the moment they come, but something keeps me from replying or acting on them. How do you deal with emails? Do having specific blocks of time devoted to email writing works for you? How you balance replying to emails with the other parts of your work? Is anyone using Groupwise for your emails? Any tips for using it? The new version is able to attach labels to the emails and changes the color of the header accordingly. Now I have a very colorful inbox but as full as before. 41 Comments

Just to tell you how urgent or important they were. Don't know if that's the right solution for me. Then the criteria you're using to creating due dates to those tasks wasn't working for you. Maybe those items shouldn't have been made tasks at all - you just should have just said no and deleted them. If the items are not urgent or important, then what's the problem with having them incubating in your "Next Actions" file? The problem doesn't seem to me to be the email program you're using, but how you're processing things into your buckets. Just throwing that out there. := » POSTED IN:
