Help with daily routines for a newbie
Margaret Puskar-Pasewicz | Oct 24 2007
Hi all, I'm very new to the forum, in fact, I wasn't even sure where to post this question so here goes...I am having trouble developing a consistent daily routine--I've read the posts on workflow and that's not really what I mean. For example, I want to be a lot more consistent & effective with my email processing and responses. I've adopted the GTD method for zeroing out my inbox, but I don't know how many times a day or for how long I should spend a) processing/delete/defer/etc. and b) actually responding. I'm a professor and typically I respond to their messages within just a few hours b/t 10am & 11pm. Is that too much? And how much time each day should I spend on all of my other emails--again, I'm not looking for tips on how to process email or write more efficient emails--just a daily routine that I can try to stick to. Thanks! 5 Comments

Perhaps this is less of a GTD question then it is a question of being more productive. Basically, all I'm really asking for are suggestions on how many times/day & for how long do I take time to process email and respond to it because I know that I'm spending too much time on it now. I appreciate the point about making better decisions--and I'm working on it--but I'm still also working 50-60 hr. weeks pretty consistently and would like to strike a better balance so I thought that I'd attack something smaller like email.
