Five fast email productivity tips
Merlin Mann | Feb 15 2005
There’s been a lot of great discussions about email productivity going around on sites I enjoy, so I thought I’d throw in five no-brainers that I’ve seen help a lot of folks.
Update 2005-10-18 07:33:45Yep, you read it right: in the eightish months since I posted this, I've set my email to check every hour. The result? I ain't missing much. A lot of stuff that can wait, a lot that resolves itself, and a huge mass of items that previously would have sent me on a 50-yard-dash to nothing. Friends: stop letting your email poke you with a stick. It's just not worth it. 79 Comments
