Using E-mail Effectively

Using E-mail for business is a must.  Depending on what you are doing for a business, you may be getting more E-mail that others.  In this case you need a strategy to handle the load.

First delete the spam and garbage quickly and without mercy.  Second, scan for high priority E-mails and act accordingly. Third, have a folder that you can use to dump the E-mails you want to work through out the day on.  Fourth, have a folder just for E-mails that have information you may need later.  Just dump them into that folder.  Try to keep the Inbox empty when you can so it does not get depressing.  What ever you decide to do, make a plan and stick to it.

I included a note on my http://www.alphacomputer.ca/Alpha_Computer_Blog.htm#7 about the importance of a good subject line.  Check it out also.
