Email is a simple, helpful form of communication.  However, if we aren’t careful, email can slurp up too much of our time, drain us, and distract us from more important tasks.

Some tips to consider:

1) Only check email twice a day.

2) As your business grows, ask an assistant to screen your emails and answer what they can without you.

3) Save lower priority emails in “to do this week” file and respond to those on Fridays.

4) Do not, and I repeat, do not discuss or debate sensitive issues over email.  Either let the issue go or pick up the phone and call.
