Check­ing the mail by phone is a good trick. Man­ag­ing email is a chal­lenge in most any job these days, but I truly think that it can be a huge dis­trac­tion (and excuse) for peo­ple like us whose real con­tact with our ‘cowork­ers’ is vir­tual. Click­ing the inbox tab to see if any mail has arrived is as addic­tive as open­ing the refrigerator door to see if some great food has mag­i­cally appeared. I hear you, Car­ole!

Some days I really hate my inbox, and I really hate those IM guys who keep sell­ing my name to all their lit­tle friends. The unsub­scribe func­tion is def­i­nitely my friend. The other thing I do is check my email from my phone before I even come down­stairs in the morn­ing. By scan­ning the abbre­vi­ated sub­ject line I can either delete from just the phone or delete from phone and inbox too. Hav­ing ver­i­fied that there are no imme­di­ate emer­gen­cies, I can hap­pily boot up the com­puter and not even look at email again until later in the day. This really helps me get a lot more work done. UGH! Some days I really hate my inbox, and I really hate those IM guys who keep sell­ing my name to all their lit­tle friends.
