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 you tie together all...Submitted by sabreuse on October 28, 2005 - 4:54am.

In some sense, you don't -- or rather, you do keep a list of your projects and their associated actions, and the next action on each active project is pulled into your actions list, but you don't worry about the projects while you're working. One of the really important insights of GTD is that you can never work on projects, only on individual actions. Instead, you keep working away at small, defined, doable actions, and the project gets nibbled away at while you aren't looking at it thinking "oh my doG I need to do this massive THING by last week". But then again you do -- because you frequently review and refresh the lists, you know without having to actively worry about it that you'll get to the next next action and make progress overall. » POSTED IN:
