Martin - Great Share

Just finished listening to your interview with Janice - very good use of time this morning. I subscribe to all of her points, recommend dedicated folders, stock responses when applicable and changing 'Subject' when the conversation changes - liked her comments on 'habit breaking'.

I wanted to add something that I do that really has helped. I set up an autoresponder that will be sent out when someone emails me (once). In this auto reply I share how I work email and the times to expect a reply. It has done more to help me manage email than anything else.

I'll post it here...
------------
Hello Friend (or Valued Client),

Due to the high workload, I am currently checking and responding to e-mail 4 specific times during the day (EST).

- 7:00am
- 1:00pm
- 4:00 pm
- 8:00 pm

Thank you for understanding my move to more efficiency and effectiveness.

This helps me accomplish more to serve you better.

Kind regards,

Pat Howlett

People appreciate this and more importantly I follow the above time lines I'll simply shut down my email program and fire it up at these times. This easily gives me back 2 hours a day (which of course can be used in the more productive area of business networking :) - Thanks!
