Taming the email monster

Sorry for the lack of posts lately – a com­bi­na­tion of a quick jaunt to Corn­wall (to con­duct a thor­ough sur­vey of beaches in the pour­ing rain), pitch­ing for some rather lovely new clients (you know who you are – wel­come aboard) and an ongo­ing moun­tain of work.

In com­mon with many oth­ers, my first morn­ing back was spent delet­ing emails. It’s not like it was all spam – our spam pro­tec­tion is pretty good. It was just stuff for the most part – although stuff with a cou­ple of ‘must read’ mails hid­den in the mid­dle some­where. Deal­ing effec­tively with email (and stuff in gen­eral) is quickly becom­ing a must-have skill (and sadly not one I seem to pos­sess).
