I agree that blocking off certain times to sift through emails is a good practice to increase efficiency. I could literally do nothing but respond to emails all day I get so many. I need another admin assistant to sort through them all, block the spammers, put emails from current clients into a folder, put requests from my Ask Sandra page into another folder....looks like I need to hire someone. What a luxury it would be to have someone do that for me!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth Sandra;
ReplyDeleteSo many people let email control them instead of them controlling the email, it becomes an art on how you handle today's technology.
I know that there are some that outsource this, but in my mind how does that affect the personalization of relationship building....mmmm...lets see, is that another blog post subject?
Thanks for the input and comments Sandra, I appreciate it; always nice to have another view to a post.
