I down here, welcome to the Podiatry management minute.
We're going to talk about handling email and I guess it's
not handling these things because I have this is this
doesn't really fit. This is the beginner's guide to
fitness but I guess I can teach you how to be fit with your with
your email. I want to talk about email
because email is something that really kind of messes with us a
little bit. We can either spend a lot of
time or not much time when we don't have really any good
processes. I'm going to go over a few
pieces of technology that really helps.
The first of all, I'm a big advocate of block timing
meaning. I only check my email at noon
time and so that just saves time and I don't have much time at
noon usually about 10 minutes and I can handle everything
during that time. I so that's the first thing is
just reducing the amount of time.
So I'm not looking at it during the day multiple times.
I'm just looking at at noon when I can take action on the email,
that's number one. Second thing is, I unsubscribe
viciously from everything, so everything is, I'm either
unsubscribing from it or I'm putting it into a folder.
I've I've kind of a folder system so I use Gmail You can
you do the same with Outlook but the folder system is everything.
That's not important that I need to look at right when it comes
in, I put in an optional folder. So I have one folder called an
optional folder and everything automatically goes into that.
You can set up these these little Beyond this to show how
to do that. But that's pretty easy.
Click on the email and you automatically send it to a
folder. Otherwise you unsubscribe from
everything and then kind of the other key is I use something
called follow-up, then.com, which is something that when I
send an email, It actually reminds me in a week or two
weeks or whatever time period that I want what I need to do.
So, it's called follow-up. Then.com, I'll talk a little bit
more in-depth about it, but it's a way that I can follow up the
people if they don't get back to me.
So I don't have to keep an email in my in my Tickler.
I don't need to keep it in my inbox and so by doing that I'm
able to have an empty inbox every single day with those
three little steps. So that's kind of my routine.
I'd love to know what works for you.
Please post underneath this video.
Tell me what works for your email, handling, or tune.
Or if you're really bad at it, let We know that to okay, talk
later. Okay, thanks.
