Some tasks have a way of getting out of hand and cluttering up our lives unless we are very careful. Email is an example. So often you sit down at the computer with the goal of being there only to check one item and it leads to one site after another and soon an hour has passed. We can spend a lot of time at the computer!
Email is one example where so much time can be spent. And there are a lot of emails that end up in the inbox so that it is difficult to find what you need to see the next time you are there. There is a way to keep it under control and not let it control you.
What you need to do is to set your timer to go off after 15 minutes, or whatever amount of time that you wish to devote to it. Use that time to sort and delete and deal with all that is there. When the bell rings, you are finished.
Chances are that you aren’t really finished with all of the emails, but the ones that need attention will be the first for you to deal with the next time you open up your email. Make sure that you deal with your mail on a first come, first served method. It works! Try it and see how you can make it work.
You will find that you can save time using this method. You will find that you can save on frustration as well. And that’s a good thing!
