The Inbox Trash!!!
Gone are the days when your email inbox used to be containing only mails and messages sourced from meaningful personal and official acquaintances. We are all in an era, where spam and junk mails are a part and parcel of anybody’s email inbox. If there are enemies to a country, there is a military to take care of it. However, practically does it stop at that, is the primary question. Military or no military, there are always enemies to any country. The universal logic applies here too. Regardless of countless spam guard and junk guard software that form a part and parcel of every email service provider, there is bound to be a never ending problem of spam and junk mails invading everybody’s email inbox.
But the main problem with emailing these days is that, the universal spam and junk email messages drastically eat up into every individual’s productive work timings. In my personal trainer marketing business I find that many of these spam and junk emails come in with such interesting and catchy subject lines that, anybody would be quite lured into opening numerous such emails to look into what exactly these emails would have to convey them. They more or less have a tranquilizing effect into any individual’s mind. Most of them are generally bulk emailing marketing campaigns that keep flooding every individual’s email inbox. There may be other trivial spam mails which convey nothing but meaningless messages. The key ultimately lies in the capability within an individual to channelize and control one’s own mind from reading any of them and feel the absolute necessity to blindly delete all such emails whenever they encounter them. There is of course the danger of enormous virus and spyware software that could slowly creep into your computer system through any of these emails. You have had it then! You would most likely be ending up with a whole week full of non-productive work. There are a few dos and don’ts that could well help the common with respect to productive emailing:
- In personal training marketing, I can tell you that the primary thing to do would be to set aside a specific amount of time everyday to check and respond to emails. This would definitely ensure that we are not overdoing or exceeding the time limits that an average, normal individual should, to check and respond to emails.
- Doing away with junk and spam mails as soon as you see them is the next best possible option. Anybody would be able to make out a junk or a spam mail as soon as one looks at them. Prioritizing the emails that come into your inbox is quite vital. They could be read and responded to in the order in which you have prioritized them.
- Generally, it is always recommended to restrict email responses and messages to just a few lines. Elaborate explanations and conferences could be performed either through phone or during meetings. This would save a lot of trivial emailing time.
- In my fitness business, I find that outsourcing the job of checking and responding to emails is another solution that is catching up fast among busy professionals and entrepreneurs. Whenever this jobs takes more than half an hour of their time, they are immediately outsourced to secretaries and other junior executives.
- Another general psyche among the public is an inner anxiety to press the delete button. If you think a mail is a trivial spam or junk, do not hesitate to press the delete button.
- Checking and responding to emails is only either the next thing or the last thing that a successful professional or entrepreneur does. This task generally puts them into quite a reactive psyche. They would rather concentrate on strategic activities that help them move their business ahead first.
