The key to effective email management and reducing email overload is developing a process for handling each email one and once only. Make sure when you open it you do something with it. Use the 4Ds principle: Deal; Delete: Delegate or Defer. Don’t just open it, and move on leaving the email lingering in the inbox. Do this too often and by the end of the week you will have a very full inbox.
Within this process a great way to save time is to use your email software to help you. Use the keyboard shortcuts to improve your performance even more.
Keyboard shortcuts save time because you reduce the number of keystokes needed and playing hunt the menu item.

Again the smaller the email and the fewer the emails the less resources needed to run your inbox, and thus the lower your carbon footprint. Here are five ways by using brilliant email etiquette you can contribute to this week’s Green office campaign.
