Time Management Tip – Halve Your Emails

Are you one of those people that get over a hundred emails a day? Probably most of them aren’t that important but you have to plough through them anyway just to make sure that you are not missing anything vital.

Did you know that in Outlook it is possible to separate out the emails that you are CC’ed so that your Inbox can then contain just the emails that are sent directly to you?

You will need to set up a separate folder for the CC’ed mail then go to
Tools > Rules and Alerts in the menu where you can set up a rule so that all mail where you are CC’ed on it goes to the separate folder.

This may substantially reduce the traffic coming through your Inbox. You can then schedule time when you are less busy to have a quick look at the CC’ed mail – or you may decide just to delete these messages!
