Full Program Description:
We live in a world with far too many inputs, distractions, and e-mails. And too many professionals are struggling to keep up, feeling helpless as they lose control of their inbox. In this program, Randy Dean, MBA, will teach you strategies for better managing your e-mail overload, including strategies for better prioritizing incoming e-mails, converting e-mails into calendar, task, and/or contact items, reducing e-mail distraction, and automating certain e-mail actions for better efficiency. He'll also show a handy strategy for automating some of your outgoing e-mails, and better managing your e-mail file systems. Attendees to this session walk out with tangible skills and techniques for gaining efficiency and productivity with e-mail, with specific technology demonstrations provided in the two market-leading software programs: MS Outlook and Gmail (although users of just about any e-mail software tool will benefit!)
At the end of this program, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the nature of e-mail & information overload in today's workplace
- Have a strategy for “splitting" work, personal, and junk/spam e-mails for greater efficiency
- Use a very simple “triage" method for managing all incoming e-mail that allows for both greater speed and prioritization of those messages and embedded tasks
- Adjust your settings in both Outlook and Gmail to greatly reduce distractions while simultaneously making your most important e-mails and most important senders stand out!
- Learn how to convert e-mails quickly into tasks, contacts, and calendar items
- Use embedded functions inside of your e-mail that allow you to “automate" certain common activities/messages
- Build a personal file “infrastructure" that can assist in achieving greater organization and control
