**This is for busy professionals who are drowning in e-mails
Are
you ready to STOP complaining
about your E-MAIL and
do something about it?
Imagine
being in control of e-mail instead of it controlling you
From

Dear Colleagues
and Friends,
Does this
sound like you?
- I
can’t keep up with my e-mails, I get so many
every day I’m struggling. I’m
not getting back to people in a timely fashion and
that generates even more e-mails.
- I’ve
got more unread e-mails in my inbox than read ones.
All of these unread e-mails is stressing
to me, it’s all so overwhelming and I don’t
feel productive nor do I feel like I’m portraying
a high level of professionalism
- My
e-mail keeps freezing up because I’m over my
storage limits. This always seems to happen
when I’m in crunch mode and then I have to make
the time to clear things out so that I can respond
to e-mails – which adds to the stress of the
moment
- I’m
constantly being interrupted with e-mails I can’t
get my work done. I end up coming in early,
working late or even coming in on the weekend just
to get “my” work done because the e-mail
chatter isn’t as bad and I can focus.

E-mail is a great
productivity tool, so why does it feel like it’s getting
in the way of your productivity? That’s what we explore
the Mise En Place Productivity Library Managing E-mail course.
How are we going to do that? First of all, let me say, it
will be fun…getting organized shouldn't be stressful.
Second, we'll tackle it one thing at a time. Third, be ready
to experience many “ah ha” and “wow …I
didn't know you could do that with e-mail” moments!
And the best part is, you don't need to leave your office
to make this happen.
Make sense? Then, it’s time to take advantage of this
great learning opportunity and get a handle on managing your
e-mail.

"There
was a lot to like about the Managing E-mail course.
After taking the course I went back and looked through
some of the folders; I had e-mail from 2005 stuck in
folders from the previous assistant that I got rid of.
The course taught me how to traffic the e-mails to where
I want them to go so they are not all in my inbox. I
now have a schedule 3 times a day for checking my e-mails.
I have to say you are right on when you said that e-mails
are an interruption; I would always have to stop what
I was doing and then get back to my previous task, even
if it was only to see who the e-mail was from. My e-mail
and I are becoming friends again!"
Thanks again!

Did you
know…
- The average
person gets 1 interruption every 8 minutes, or approximately
7 an hour, or 50-60 per day. The average interruption takes
5 minutes, totaling about 50% of the average workday. 80%
of those interruptions are typically rated as "little
value" or "no value" creating approximately
3 hours of wasted time per day.
- Americans waste
9 million hours per day searching for lost or misplaced
items.
- Wall Street
Journal reported that the average executive loses 6 weeks
per year searching for missing information in messy desks
and files (almost 1 hour per day per person).
- Over 170 Billion
e-mails are sent every day
- You can expect
a 35 to 50% increase in e-mail volume next year
- 1.5 to 4.0
is the number of hours each day we spend dealing with e-mail
