How to control your emails and IN box
No one believes me when I tell them I know exactly to feel less overwhelmed, less stressed and more productive with my strategy about How to control your emails and your In Box. "Kathy, you are CRAZY! I can't NOT check my emails 100 times a day!" "Kathy, I am an entrepreneur - are you INSANE? I MUST answer my emails the moment they come in- it could be a huge client!"
These are just 2 versions of the flabbergasted responses I get from my corporate clients, audiences, people taking my Business Series or entrepreneurs. I understand their disbelief yet it IS possible and I have testimonials and blogs from the proud new believers to prove my theory works! I want to share my strategy with you and hope you find it as liberating, stress reducing and powerfully proactive as all of the people who have tried it! From corporate employees who have colleagues and bosses constantly demanding answers to busy entrepreneurs who feel they must be "on call" to answer every single email for fear it may be that "one huge opportunity"- I know the golden handcuffs that email notifications bring. You want to be responsive, you want to be professional, you want to be attentive. Yet you have a responsibility to yourself to answer those emails in a calm, controlled, professional manner in which you can thoughtfully consider your answers. This is possible.
In this week's 3 minute video I share How to control your emails and your In box when you truly believe you are chained to the email notifications and must respond to every email immediately. My strategy works. It takes discipline and a good ol' college try! You CAN do it if you really want to stop answering emails all day long and the thought of answering emails simply stresses you out. Whether or not you have a corporate job or you run your own business- you can be proactive in how and when you answer ALL your emails. Every day. In a timely and professional manner. And never lose a client, customer or colleague!
