Need More Time? Start By Managing Your E-Mail More Effectively

Ever wonder why the tool that is supposed to save you the most time at work ends up wasting your time instead? E-mail promised to be the great time saver - no more letter writing, paper copies, or endless phone calls. But many of us seem to be spending more time than ever managing our e-mail. To succeed in today's business world, we need to communicate instantly, share information quickly, and find it again easily. The problem with e-mail is that we get caught in e-mail feedback loops involving repeated requests for clarification or information. We spend too much time sorting through SPAM and opening messages that aren't relevant to our work or to us.
