Taking Control of E mail InterruptionsIn this video session at BNET, we got to work at the whiteboard again. The topic was “taking control of e-mail interruptions.” I drew and explained how most business professionals handle e-mail today (the shocking truth!), and then demonstrated how we can significantly improve on this “bleak” picture and transform e-mail from being an ad-hoc activity that has “us” under control, to a structure task that “we” have under control.

In doing so, we take control of one of most ubiquitous and detrimental interruptions of all, and that is e-mail interruptions!

What are you waiting for? Don’t wait for the next e-mail beep, instead listen to this 3 min video and start taking action now. And don’t keep it a secret. After all, e-mail is a shared responsibility.

I liked your video on Taking Control of email. I try to ignore the 'dings' of new emails and review my emails three times a day. First in the a.m., middle of the day, then later in the day.

I try to use the "Dr Pepper Schedule" for checking emails--10-2-4. It helps to have a specific time set aside so you know you'll get to it.

I got an email about controlling email interruptions, I immediately (noting the irony) browsed away from my morning email to review your "Taking Control of Email" video blogpost. Wow! Your blog entries are a super productivity boost.

Excellent video, Pierre. I found myself slipping into the always-checking-my-email syndrome. The first step for me was to disable all of the pop-up notifications that were running my life and flattening my results curve.  
 
Great stuff!! Surely something to implement today.

The origin of <strong>uggs outlet</strong> can derive from world war one, when a clever Australian pilot wrapped two pieces of wools on his shoes to prevent from the chilly weather. Later this awkward round boots became popular in Australia. The Australian pilot start the beginning of <strong>cheap real uggs</strong> and it is not until 1978 that UGG boots reached to America. It is an Australian young surfer named Brain Smith made it prevail due to once he brought a bulk of wools to America. In the past, Australian craftsman used to make <strong>ugg boots on sale </strong> along the New Zealand seaside.
