Time Management Tip of the Week!

Posted by Kristen Doescher, Total Quality Account Manager

Don't leave email sitting in your Inbox

"The ability to quickly process and synthesize information and turn it into actions is one of the most emergent skills of the professional world today," says Merlin Mann, editor of the productivity blog 43 Folders. Organize email in file folders. If the message needs more thought, move it to your to-do list. If it's for reference, print it out. If it's a meeting, move it to your calendar.

"One thing young people are really good at is only touching things once. You don't see young people scrolling up and down their email pretending to work," says Mann. Take action on an email as soon as you read it.
