Email seems to be the biggest time drain faced by many busy people today. It seems to be such an issue that many great minds have already thrown their hats into the ring over and shared their secrets for dealing with the vast quantities of email many of us receive. Like many of you probably have I read these articles with much interest, I was desperate to reduce the amount of time email stole from my day but it seemed that none of the approaches or techniques I read about actually carried through to my day to day life. So I have decided to do what anyone who is frustrated with a situation should do. I am going to fix the problem and I am going to tell you how to do the same. It’s time I threw my hat in the ring.

We all agree that the seemingly never ending battle to keep the inbox empty is taking it’s toll, not just on our overall productivity but also simply taking hours from our life’s that we can never recover. However with a proper system in place to process our messages and convert them into actions we can reduce the amount of time email takes up in our day by up to 99%. I’m not kidding.

Over the next couple of weeks I will be sharing with you my system for email mastery and a few tips and tricks I have learnt along the way. There is no guarantee that it will work perfectly for you as we all have our different needs and challenges to face but I promise you that with a little creative adjustment you can apply anything that has worked for me to your own email woes.

I hope that this series can become your go to for ideas to deal with email and become more productive as a result. Actually, scratch that. I hope that this series can help you combat your email and improve your life!
