Habit #4 to Help You Build a Better Business

from The Accountability Minute:Business Acceleration|Productivity · host Anne Bachrach

Today we are talking about habit #4 to help you build an even better business, which is to Clear Your Inbox. Face it, clutter distracts. Decluttering has been known to provide better focus and improved productivity.  Clutter is now more than just physical clutter in your office. Virtual clutter provides just as many distractions as physical clutter does.  You’ll have emails, invoices, updates, memos, and many other communications in your inbox that can cause clutter in your business. When you leave your inbox full, cluttered, and unattended, you will likely miss important correspondence that will cost you something. Your email inbox is not your to-do list. Organize, sort, and respond to messages as soon as they come in. This will keep you updated and focused on more important tasks. To make it easier, make a habit of scheduling time blocks around 11:00am and at the end of each day to respond to your email messages, so you aren’t constantly looking at your inbox and letting it distract you. I recommend that you don’t check your emails first thing in the morning as it can get you off schedule right away, and I’m sure you know what I mean. You can also have your assistant, if you have one, read through your emails and delete or handle those they can handle. Tune in tomorrow for habit #5 to help you build a better business. Put an end to the procrastination cycle and make progress on your goals with my Guide to Stopping Procrastination!
