The dreaded inbox. You can’t live with it and you can’t live without it. It’s the first thing small business owners check in the morning, and the last thing they check at night. Chaos Inc. loves to keep you buried in your inbox.
Ever get the feeling that email management—or lack thereof—is beginning to consume you? Well, if it’s broke: fix it!
If you’re tired of lying in bed every morning, scrolling through emails with one eye open, then this video is for you. Take a look at my four steps to managing email to regain control of that inbox!
Now it’s time for action:

For those emails that are just a distraction, apply a filter and get them out of the way until you need them. Make your email work for you—not vice versa!
