Today we are talking about habit #2 that secretly affects your productivity, which is Continuously Checking Your Emails.
As we all know, emailing is one of the preferred choices of communication amongst businesses and their clients, partners, and suppliers alike. Due to its ability to instantly search and receive messages, emails remain a trusted mode of communication to keep you informed at all times.
The challenge business professionals face with emails is that continuously checking emails has become a habit that chews away at a lot of your very valuable time. Sometimes, you can spend hours searching and refreshing your emails and responding to emails and messages. Doing this continuously has a negative impact on your productivity.
Though it is important to be informed, utilize an important time management skill like time blocking to help you check your emails and function at an optimal level. Section an hour or a few minutes of your day to check your emails. This can be done either once in the morning, around 11:00, is what I recommend (and not the first thing in the morning), and then around 4:00pm to be on top of your inbox for tomorrow.
Doing this helps you focus on more important tasks and significantly improves your productivity.
Tune in tomorrow for habit #3 that secretly affects your productivity.
