Taming Your Time and Your E-Mail Beast:
Key Strategies for Better Managing Your Time, Your Technology, and Your E-mail
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
9 am to Noon
Location to be Announced
It seems that every day, managers and professionals are getting buried deeper and deeper under a continuing stream of both useful and useless information. Without a system for getting “control of the beast”, many people spend much of their work (and personal) time spinning wheels and feeling highly unsatisfied, simply due to too much information coming too fast with no place for it to go.
If you would like to get control of "the beast" of information overload, you should attend Randall Dean’s Taming the E-mail and Info Overload Beast program. Learn how to tame your e-mail account, with proven strategies for keeping your inbox efficient and under control. Learn how to reduce the mess on your desk by having "natural" places for all of your papers, project folders, items to read, etc., to go. Learn how to get rid of all of the annoying "little stuff" once and for all, and then keep it under control for the ongoing future. And finally feel on top of the information that you are responsible for, rather than feeling it is on top of you.
This program can produce tangible results for professionals dealing with a messy, unproductive desk and office, and a "busting out" e-mail account. You can follow a proven system for getting and keeping your e-mail account to 20 messages or less most of the time, and to having just one small, prioritized pile of loose papers in your office, rather than many large, unorganized piles of paper and clutter. You'll also learn strategies for how to end the endless number of CC's (carbon copy e-mails) flying around your office, as well as how to get people to more professionally handle truly urgent messages and interruptions and critical communications. You'll discover how to effectively and appropriately identify items for "proactive procrastination", as well as discover a simple strategy for hugely reducing the amount of SPAM filling up your professional e-mail account. And you'll learn so much more!
