The four Ds of email productivity

Do it

If it takes less than 5 minutes to complete, just get it done. Then delete it.

Decide then Delete it

Make a decision, and if you don’t need the email any more, get rid.

Delegate it

If you can’t do it, do you know someone else who can? Forward it to them and then delete it.

Defer it

If you can’t do it now, and it takes longer than 5 minutes – block some time out in your calendar and do it then.
