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

You work for an NGO....Submitted by Laura M. on October 30, 2005 - 2:10am.

I suspect you have high ideals and hopes for fixing up the world and it's difficult if other people don't seem to have the same vision or capabilities. Eg "reluctance to lose an time explaining every detail of the task you might have been able to delegate". I think that's pushing the analysis a little bit. Long story short, I'm not working there as a vocation, so "sharing the same vision" doesn't apply. What about you then? Do you think you have to save the world? ;) » POSTED IN:
