Taming the Email & Info Overload Beast: Key Strategies for Better Managing Your E-mail and Office Overload

with Randy Dean

Every day, managers and professionals are getting buried under a continuing stream of both useful and useless e-mail and information. Without a system for getting “control of these beasts”, professionals spend much of their work (and personal) time spinning wheels and feeling highly unsatisfied.

If you would like to get control of your e-mail and office clutter “beasts”, attend this program. Learn how to tame your e-mail account, with proven strategies for keeping your inbox and desk under control by building and administering a personal "e-mail/office infrastructure". Reduce the mess by having “natural” places for your e-mail, papers, documents, and files to go. Learn how to get rid of “quick little” e-mails once and for all, as well as how to mitigate or even eliminate junk and spam. Finally feel on top of e-mail and related activities, rather than feeling it is on top of you.

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Understand the nature of e-mail and information/office overload in today’s workplace
• Enact strategies for reducing or eliminating e-mail and office clutter
• Learn money  and time saving techniques for converting e-mails into their related tasks and events
• Limit the distracting, interruptive nature of e-mail and related communications, leading to greater focus
• Identify situations where e-mail may not be the best communications solution, with recommendations for better methods
• Integrate specific techniques for better managing professional, personal, and e-commerce related e-mails 
• Communicate with greater clarity on sent messages, including smarter strategies for CCs, forwards, and “FYIs”
• Greatly reduce the receipt and risk of junk and spam messages
• Manage information/paper clutter at your workstation for greater prioritization (including more “effective procrastination”)
• Understand the need for “proximity” when managing information at your workstation
• Develop a personal information/workstation “infrastructure” for long-term prioritization, productivity, and performance
