5 Smart Ways to Get Control of Your Inbox

These may seem like straight forwards ways from Forbes Magazine to get control of your email.  But they like most habits in life, are easy to say but hard to change.  I for one am guilty of becoming distracted by constantly checking email.  Rather than focusing on one projects or task, I read an email and then get side tracked.

Regardless, these are solid rules that if you could just implement, you could be on your way to higher productivity and more time for yourself.

1. Schedule specific times during the day that you will read email
2. Read every email only once
3. Take action immediately. Do one of four things
4. Scan the spam box once a week
5. Get less mail
