Handling Info overload

Do you have 50 unread emails in your inbox, 550 new posts in your feed reader, tons of pending work and a general feeling of being buried under too much info?  Swaroop comes to your rescue with some really great tips.

  • Never allow anything to be in your inbox > 2-3 days
    • If you’re not going to reply in that time frame, you never will. So simply archive it or reply with a one-liner saying you can’t look into it now.
  • If you don’t have anything to add, don’t reply.
  • Make sure you are clear on what is the action you are expecting from the recipient.
  • Reply in bullet points. Because everybody skims.
