Taking control of email

- Email is one the most used and helpful methods of communication in the workplace. Yet is also perhaps the most misused and disruptive method. How can we practice effective time management while using email? Hi, I'm Dave Crenshaw, and in this course, we'll explore some of the most productive ways to use email. In training people in organizations of every size, from Fortune 500 companies to freelancers, I've found a variety of best practices to use when it comes to email. I've also discovered many of the common mistakes that people make that disrupt productivity and how we can avoid those mistakes. We'll discuss how to create effective patterns of checking email so you can stay on top of things while not letting it dominate your attention. We'll also explore some tricks you can use to reduce the distraction that comes from being overwhelmed by email, and ways to write more effective emails that save time. Our goal in this tips course is to explore email from a variety of angles and give you a handful of techniques you can use to practice more effective time management. Let's begin.
