Day 5: Check your email LESS.
Because email receipts have become one of the most prolific interrupters of the 21st century, managing the frequency with which you check your email will bring great returns to your productivity. (And reduce some of that inbox stress!)
So, the answer, for the average business: 5
times a day. 📧
That’s right, check your inbox only 5 times daily-first thing in the morning, mid-morning, after lunch, mid- afternoon, and end of day. Or, even less if you are capable.
This works because you’ve turned off automatic send/receive, so it allows you up to two hours to focus on your work, rather than to be continually interrupted. It works because you’ll be grouping the sorting of your email, so you’ll be productive in the
zone of sorting your email. It works because you’ve evidenced that YOU’ve taken control of your email, not the other way around. ✨
