Ten simple steps to looking (and acting!) like a professional:
- Open Outlook.
- Open (read) all unread emails.
- Respond to emails you can respond to right now.
- Flag emails you can’t respond to right now.
- Delete or block emails that suck.
- Check your email again later and take care of the oldest flagged item.
- If you’re feeling it, take care of that newest flagged item, too.
- Get a drink of water.
- Do something else productive.
- Repeat.
Man, you are going to give David Allen a run for his money.
