Understand how email works. Do not be a slave to your inbox. Accomplish your priority tasks and then check your email on your terms when appropriate to you. If it were urgent, your customer would call, not send a note and wait at their computer for a reply. You can still address your correspondence daily or multiple times a day, but if you jump on every note as soon as it arrives, think of how much time you waste each day.

What can I do tomorrow that will have the biggest benefit for my company? Put it on the top of your list. Get on it first thing in the morning. Plan for tomorrow. When you plan for today, you are already behind.
