Email is an integral part of working, but for far too many workers, it hurts rather than helps their productivity.
Snooze Emails Until You Are Ready
What do you do with an email that you do need to act on, but not right now? If you're like most people, you probably leave that message in your inbox, possibly even marking it as unread. This causes you to look at it (i.e., spend time and focus on it) over and over. A much better way is to move it out of your inbox.
If you ever receive an email that isn't actionable at that specific time, get it out of your inbox. Remember, triage. We're talking an itinerary for a trip months from now, directions to your friend's wedding next year, or an email you want to follow up on tomorrow, but not today. These messages are irrelevant until the time you need them, at which point they become incredibly important, so snooze them.
