July is here, so it is now more than officially Summer!  The temperature and humidity levels are higher.   Many of us are enjoying as much beach, sun, pool, hiking, amusement parks, fairs and other summer fun as possible.  We sneak away from work early to enjoy the extra hours of sunlight or we hit the road for some well earned vacation time.

This month’s email management strategy is:  Focus!

Some suggestions to help you stay focused at work are:

This month’s email management strategy is:  Relax!

Constantly checking email wastes time.  Block time to answer your email and fight the temptation to check your email every few minutes.  We recommend checking your email no more frequently than once an hour—preferably twice a day (morning and evening).  You will save yourself a lot of time and be far more productive.
