#3 Too Busy/Don't Have Time - Top 10 Mistakes That Cause a Disorganised Inbox

HOW TO OVERCOME #3 Not making it a priority (too busy/don't have time)

What are the risks of using the excuse "I'm too busy or I just don't have the time" to not get organised in Outlook? What's the worse that can happen?

You could quit your job or give up on your business because the stress and overwhelm just becomes too much.

You might not pin it down to how you use email but it has a big part to play. 

Have you ever thought about the knock-on effect of constantly drowning in email and what that does to your mindset every day? You might dread coming in to work. You get to work and there is a mountain of emails, many of which have been awaiting your attention for a couple of days, which makes you feel pretty overloaded before you've even had your first coffee. You feel grumpy when you head to your first meeting of the day because you don't feel like you're going to get ahead yet again today. This has a profound impact on your ongoing attitude and demeanour at work which you can guarantee will effect your performance.

If you could free up time by using email efficiently, would that allow you to get ahead in every other facet of your job or business? We're talking serious time too. What if you could get a whole extra business day back in your pocket, would that relieve some pressure?

TIP:

Make your email a priority each and everyday. If you have tested the tips you have learned so far, but you use the excuse that you're too busy and you don't have the time to use them ongoing, then you are missing out on a prime opportunity to SAVE time.

The next part is important - give yourself a reward every time you successfully use a tip or tool or feature in Outlook that improves your efficiency and productivity. Make a deal with your manager that they have buy you a coffee (or make you one) each time you save time in Outlook. This will strengthen your habit and make it a long term behaviour. 

Free up time by using email efficiently.
