[PMM] #35 - Handling email routine

I down here, welcome to the Podiatry management minute. We're going to talk about handling email and I guess it's not handling these things because I have this is this doesn't really fit. This is the beginner's guide to fitness but I guess I can teach you how to be fit with your with your email. I want to talk about email because email is something that really kind of messes with us a little bit. We can either spend a lot of time or not much time when we don't have really any good

processes. I'm going to go over a few pieces of technology that really helps. The first of all, I'm a big advocate of block timing meaning. I only check my email at noon time and so that just saves time and I don't have much time at noon usually about 10 minutes and I can handle everything during that time. I so that's the first thing is just reducing the amount of time. So I'm not looking at it during the day multiple times.

I'm just looking at at noon when I can take action on the email, that's number one. Second thing is, I unsubscribe viciously from everything, so everything is, I'm either unsubscribing from it or I'm putting it into a folder. I've I've kind of a folder system so I use Gmail You can you do the same with Outlook but the folder system is everything. That's not important that I need to look at right when it comes

in, I put in an optional folder. So I have one folder called an optional folder and everything automatically goes into that. You can set up these these little Beyond this to show how to do that. But that's pretty easy. Click on the email and you automatically send it to a

folder. Otherwise you unsubscribe from everything and then kind of the other key is I use something called follow-up, then.com, which is something that when I send an email, It actually reminds me in a week or two weeks or whatever time period that I want what I need to do. So, it's called follow-up. Then.com, I'll talk a little bit more in-depth about it, but it's a way that I can follow up the people if they don't get back to me. So I don't have to keep an email in my in my Tickler.

I don't need to keep it in my inbox and so by doing that I'm able to have an empty inbox every single day with those three little steps. So that's kind of my routine. I'd love to know what works for you. Please post underneath this video. Tell me what works for your email, handling, or tune. Or if you're really bad at it, let We know that to okay, talk later. Okay, thanks.
