10. How Scary Is It To Close
Your Email
For Hours at a Time:
!• Sound like a nice break to me!
• It might freak me out but I’ll
give it a try
• No way! What if I miss
something important?!
11. How to Act on Email
Delete (or archive)
Delegate
Respond
Defer
Do
12. Delete
Ask:
!• Will you ever really do anything about it?
• If not, delete (or archive) it
• Don’t feel bad about being realistic
• Any modern email system can handle a
large archive of email (i.e. Google Mail,
MS Exchange)
• Use search to recover archived email

14. Delegate
Is it more efficient for
someone else
to deal with it? If so,
delegate it, CC yourself,
and place a copy in your
“Waiting For” folder.

16. Respond
Can you respond in
2 minutes or less?
If so, go ahead and
respond. Then
delete or archive.
17. Defer
When to Defer:
!• Will it take longer than 2 minutes
to deal with?
• If so, defer it
• Place it in “Action Required” or
“Someday Maybe” folder
• Place it on a todo list (then
delete/archive)
