I could hardly believe the money flying out the window . . . by Debbye Cannon Send Feedback to Debbye Cannon organize your office fastMore Details about organize your office fast here.
I was shocked to see how quickly just an extra 30 minutes a day of productivity would bring in an additional $18,000 (or more!) a year . . . How did I come to that? It was simple. I just figured that conservatively home-based business owners spend a minimum of one hour a day on email. If you can make even $50 per hour in your business it equals $18K! That was enough to make me take a SERIOUS look at cutting back on my email surfing. Now, I've heard that some people are deciding not to answer email but once a week. I don't think that is realistic (or smart). So what DO I suggest, you ask? For starters, just realizing the value of your time will be life changing. Catch yourself when you are avoiding productive (aka "income producing" activities) by checking email. It's the new form of procrastination instead of (or worse yet, in addition to) running to the kitchen for a snack. Plan specific times during your work day to check email. In between I suggest you consider turning off the email program . . . or at least the "you've got mail" bell. At your designated times try using a timer (take the one from the kitchen) to keep you honest about the allotted time. So how can you get thru all this "in time" before your timer goes off? One way is to unsubscribe from the "stuff" you don't use. Take the 30 seconds to do it now instead of deleting those messages every few days from now on . . . for the rest of your natural life. Next, using FOLDERS and RULES to sort email. Set up the business related key senders at the top of the folders list using numbers or the@ sign. Play with your email management program to see what will put them in a SMARTcut order for you. Delete email you are finished with so you aren't plowing back thru it every day. Request that the people that send you "junk mail" (poems, urban legends, etc) remove you from their group list. If they don't, make a special "rule" for them to go straight to your "junk" folder or at least their own folder so you don't have to bother with them during your productive work hours. Let me know how much time you find in your day . . . I promise I won't ask for a "cut" of your new found profits! Want more ways to make more money? Check out my new program . . .
