Let’s face it: Email is killing our productivity. The average person checks their email 11 times per hour, processes 122 messages a day, and spends 28% of their total workweek managing their inbox. What was once a powerful and essential tool for doing our daily work has become a near-constant source of frustration, anxiety, and distraction from our work.

• Break free from email addiction and the “inbox zero” obsession

• Process your inbox based on what (& who) really matters to you
• Write messages that get people to pay attention and take action
• Set boundaries and say “no” to time-wasting distractions
