Day 4 is a very important day. I hope that you read this and it turns the light on for you.
I have been super fortunate to spend these last few years around some brilliant minds. Some of these minds are brilliant in the education arenas, coaching arenas, business arenas, and even the church arenas. Quite a few of these leaders share a similar skill or solution for a problem many (I included) suffer from. We suffer from checking that inbox WAY TOO OFTEN.
Here is what I found and have even tried during this past month. Schedule a time that is strictly for checking the inbox. It can be noon (for most of them) or it can be at the end of the work day. Whichever you choose, select the time and stick to it. Respond to those important emails and move forward. Too much of our time and energy is checking the inbox that never ceases to end or never ceases to even begin. Your energy and time are two of the most important things you have in your life. Stop checking messages so you can start moving FORWARD.
