I LOVE
Email Campaign Kicks Off
Join email overload expert and author of Conquer Email Overload with Better Habits, Etiquette, and Outlook 2007, Peggy Duncan, as she kicks off a national I LOVE EMAIL CAMPAIGN beginning October 1st.
The campaign will consist of:
"Email is not the problem, but rather a lack of training: bad email habits, the company culture, and the mismanagement of what flows in and out of the Inbox," says Duncan. She offers the following solutions.
Reduce the load with better management. If email overload is a problem, reduce the load. Get into a meeting with your Inbox, clean it out, send people what they need, and move the messages to where they need to be. Your Inbox is not a to do list for unfinished work, tickler file that reminds you of work, calendar with meeting notices and reminders, database for addresses and phone numbers, or filing system for unfinished projects.
Improve your email culture with better habits. Developing better email habits will help improve email management. Ask people around you for a list of their email pet peeves...things you do in email that ticks them off. Pay attention to what they say do better.
Don’t just install the software, learn how to use it. Training is the first thing to go when the economy dips when it should be expanded. You’ll work more efficiently and make fewer mistakes. Without the proper training, you’re taking hours to do something you can finish before you blink. The easier you make managing email, the better you’ll be at it, and the more you'll love it.
