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

How can something go overdue for months: I came to the conclusion my GW task list grew into a wish list - how do they call it in GTD? "someday/maybe"? - which turned into "never for sure". So, I shrewdly deducted I was not really listing tasks but just getting rid of stuff in another email cemetery. My task list was the shallow grave of all dead emails. :) About lists, well then again, you're so right, you're like email shrink Steve, I do work from my list, work as it comes, work as I feel like to do. :) About controlling demands made on me (this is a catch-all post), yesterday I started thinking about it but maybe I can post that in a separate topic. » POSTED IN:
