Oct 09, 2022 5:18 pm

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Stress Less and Get More Done Newsletter !


Each week I send you a video and blog post on a similar topic that will help you stress less and get more done.


This Weeks Topic: How to cut down on Email

FYI: The irony isn't lost on me that I'm sending you an email, about spending less time on email


We spend 96 Workdays a year on email, here are some simple ways to get more time back.


Here 5 simple ways to reduce your inbox time and spend less time “working”:


  1. Don’t start your day on email (Instead, spend the first 30-60 minutes working on something important)
  2. Don’t use your inbox as your to do list (Even a piece of paper is better)
  3. Make a rule that sends anything with “unsubscribe” to a folder (This will cut your inbox load significantly, check it at the end of the day)
  4. Disable your email notifications (They distract you and suck you back in)
  5. Check Email at Certain Intervals (every 90 minutes/3 times a day/etc)

P.S. Want to donate 500 Meals to people in need?


 I am running a drive for October, for every referral I will donate $50 to Feeding America, this purchases 500 meals for people in need. 


A good referral for me is someone in upper management in CS, HR, Sales or Learning and Development. 


If they become a customer, I will donate an additional $100 to the charity of your choice as part of my referral program.


Thanks for considering, let me know if you have any questions.
