Email overload – what would you do with an extra hour a day

Thursday June 23rd, 2011, 9:30 am

Email overload eats into our day and uses time which we could devote to other activities. At a networking meeting today I asked several senior business executives what they would do with an extra hour a day. Here are there responses:

Paint
Have my hair done
Go sailing
Sleep
Cook
Do some strategic planning

What would you do with an extra hour a day? That is what you can easily save yourself if you take control of your inbox rather than letting it control you and your day!

The inbox, or this PC of mine, will NEVER EVER control me…..!
I am in control of it……!
If l choose to take an hour or so…'OUT'…I will do so…..Those people who let the internet control them…..Are very….very….sad indeed…!
Let's get some 'life'….Back in to our 'lives'.
