Are you addicted to email? Yup, I have to admit, I am. Blackberries, Facebook, Twitter and yes email. I wonder, how many email accounts do you have that you utilize on a regular basis? Myself alone? I have four, yup, four email accounts. One for friends and family, one for work, one for social media sites and networking and one for all e-commerce sites I join and subscribe to when shopping! That being said, I just attended a class at work given by our Director of Associate Recruiting and she gave some really good suggestions to managing your email, because after all, no one ever trained us on email management, who has time for that?
Really now…Do you manage your email?
Folks 20 years ago didn’t work as hard as we do today, or maybe the correct way to phrase it is, less to multi-task? I mean really, with all the technology and plethora of social media, it’s no wonder we can’t find time to go to the bathroom! Email has become the preferred method of communication with clients and among our colleagues, you no longer can take hours to get back to someone, it’s expected to reply within minutes or within the hour. (I’m sure you’re asking yourself, did I really want a PDA?)
