21 Days to Inbox Zero: control email
In the 21st Century email has changed from a handy and convenient business tool to an overused, overworked time-consuming burden.
For many, checking and managing email begins with waking and extends through breakfast, dominates the working day in 20 minute slices, distracts from meetings, interrupts lunch and takes time away from their families and friends in so-called social time.
I am the Chief Operating Officer of a $40m freight management company and over the last two years have launched a tech startup associated with that role.
I receive, on average 75 emails per day from hundreds of suppliers, clients, co-workers and other contacts.
I spend less than 30 minutes a day on email and do not check my email outside business hours or on weekends unless there is an especially urgent need to deal with a particular situation.
On coach.me I have helped hundreds of people resolve their email management challenges, achieve Inbox Zero and control email.
This book will help you get out of your inbox and into more productive work. You'll be more effective and efficient, and feel that sense of freedom and control that comes with using email as a tool to get things done, rather than allowing others to use it as a tool to decide what you should do with your time.
Using tools and strategies I've synthesised, borrowed, stolen from others and developed over the last ten years, the daily steps in this book are simple but will have a significant impact. These strategies worked for me, have worked for others and will work for you.
Follow the 21 steps in this book and spend less than 40 minutes a day - in total - in your inbox. You will achieve Inbox Zero and control email.

This book had some great tips that I put into action right away - have an All Mail folder and unsubscribe from mailing lists. There were also some strategies that are not realistic in my industry. The author recommends that you do want each step day by day. I found reading the whole book first to get the whole picture then breaking down each step worked better for me. The book is worth the quick read.
