Doing something later is ok at times. But when it comes to your email inbox, you have to deal with it the moment you have read it. Leaving it ‘unread’ is a recipe for disaster.

00:00Well i'm back in the office as you can see i still got unpacked i'll just do it later and that idea got me thinking about i'll do it later with email.
00:11Many people that i work with many clients i work with what they do with their email is that they use it like a filing system and or to do list as it were where they will read something rather than actually deal with it there and then.
00:28And that dealing with it will lift so much weight off of your shoulders rather than having a ton of emails in your inbox.
00:39And some of them or many of them i've seen someone with fifty six email unread emails and my house this possible where they read that email so they can deal with it later.
00:53But when they go into their email their inundated with all this stuff all these emails that they have to deal with.
01:02More often than not they'll just do it later like i'm doing with my unpacking i think i'm packing doing later is fine because it's like you want a day off but with your work and your emails you kind of wanna deal with it there and then.
01:17Now how do we do this well i've shown you in the past how i do it with my task manager things things three.
01:26But there are lots of different ways of doing it lots of different to do lists and ways of doing it but the idea is to get it out of your email because an email coming in is something that you have to take action on.
01:40And taking action should be in your to do list or in your calendar if it's something that you need lots of time when you know you need to block off time.
01:49So.
01:51I'm reading it doesn't help it actually makes things worse you have to deal with you have to delegate it you have to set it up set it up in your task manager so.
02:03And i've always said your task manager should be your unpaid assistant so your assistant basically.
02:09Tells you that you have to do something you have to reply to that email you have to do that report whatever so don't unread an email read the email or and put it into your task manager and just do it later and have a really simple.
02:27No frills nothing in your email inbox and you'll get so much work done this is basically how i did my work while i was away i use daylight which is a crm and i and i used things three as well for my personal stuff but i basically put it in the right places and.
02:47And i've got nothing to do so i make videos for you anyway have a great day have a good weekend and i'll see you in the next one ciao.
