Take Back Your Time
One of my clients found himself bound and chained to his computer,
receiving and responding to e-mails several hours each day. The more time he
spent at his computer, the fewer of his other important tasks he was able to get
done. The stress caused by these undone tasks, building up like an avalanche
overhang, started to affect his personality, his health, and his sleeping habits.
We taught him about the 80/20 Rule and how it applied to e-mails. He
deleted and unsubscribed from the 80 percent of his e-mails that had no value.
Of the remaining 20 percent, only 4 percent required immediate responses.
The other 16 percent could be transferred to an action folder to be worked on
later.
