(And reduce some of that inbox stress!)lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;So, the answer, for the average business: 5lt;brgt;times a day. ??lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;That's right, check your inbox only 5 times daily-first thing in the morning, mid-morning, after lunch, mid- afternoon, and end of day. Or, even less if you are capable.lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;This works because you've turned offamp;nbsp; automatic send/receive, so it allows you up to two hours to focus on your work, rather than to be continually interrupted. It works because you'll be grouping the sorting of your email, so you'll be productive in thelt;brgt;zone of sorting your email. It works because you've evidenced that YOU've taken control of your email, not the other way around. ?lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Stay tuned for more tips tomorrow!lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;And lt;a href="http://marshaegan.com/email-productivity"gt;click herelt;/agt; for even more tips!lt;/pgt; lt;footer class="entry-meta"gt; This entry was posted in lt;a href="https://www.marshaegan.com/category/email-productivity/clean-out-your-inbox-week/" rel="category tag"gt;Clean Out Your Inbox Weeklt;/agt;, lt;a href="https://www.marshaegan.com/category/email-best-practices/" rel="category tag"gt;Email Best Practiceslt;/agt;, lt;a href="https://www.marshaegan.com/category/email-productivity/" rel="category tag"gt;Email Productivitylt;/agt;.
