129: Your Inbox is not your Job

Welcome to Part 1 in my three-episode mini-series on Personal Effectiveness. In this first episode, I address how important it is to realise that your inbox is not your job. I share the management mind-set needed for efficient organisation of your time and how to form positive habits. Don’t ignore your inbox, but prioritise and realise that ‘no-one gets promoted because their inbox is dealt with each day.’ Listen to hear email habits you’ll want to cultivate as well as thoughts on how to increase your productivity and not feel chained to your inbox and others’ requests.Next week’s episode Part 2 covers Taking control of your Time.References and Resources‘How Multitasking Affects Productivity and Brain Health’‘How To Make Your Actual Work As Addictive As Email’‘Here Are Five Tips to Mindfully Managing Your Emails'Thank you so much for listening to The Independent School Podcast.
