Email has become second nature to most of us.  This can be a great tool or a real time killer!  I have found the following system to help me manage my email time.

I strive to open my Email account three times a day as follows:

First Time

Before I open the email, I have decided three to five emails I need to send out and one or two email replies I am expecting.  I make sure that I complete these tasks before I look at anything else!  How do I do that?

Checking emails is a tricky business.  It can engross you completely.  This morning, I went into the computer at 8.45 am to quickly catch up on my emails.  My goal was to be out of the computer by 9 am.  It was not until 10.15 am, when my wife Farzana needed the computer, that I quit.

What is the learning?
