Five Methods to Deal: Email Overload
Want to learn how to tame your email overload? An article on the Read Write Web blog describes five methodologies and the implementation strategies you'll need to get it done. These include:
1. The Get It Done Method
2. The 4-Hour Workweek Method
3. Treat Email as SMS
4. The Folders and Rules Method
5. The Email Bankruptcy Method
In my opinion, #5 seems to be the most drastic approach. But with so many people keeping in touch on Facebook and LinkedIn and the popularity of their communication systems, this might not be as extreme as one might think.
