Email Inbox Management – Step 4 Short Responses

If you’re just joining this conversation, this is a series of posts on how to get control of your inbox.  Once published, you can find the links to all the posts in the series after each post.

At this point, you’ve probably already cut down your inbox time roughly 75%.  Lets shave another little bit off, shall we?

This step is short and sweet.  Literally.  Learn to respond to 95% of your emails with five (5) sentences or less.  No more novels.  Sounds easy, right?  You’ll have to train yourself on this one.  But remember, you do NOT need to respond to every email, just the ones that require a response.

I’d love to hear how you now feel about your inbox.  Please share in the comments!
