Are You on Top of Your Emails?
It’s hard for a man to admit a weakness, yet here I am spilling my heart out. I am an extremely lazy emailer. Here is a screenshot of my Inbox at the moment:
I’m a lazy bastard. Granted most of those emails are newsletters, MaxBounty spam messages, and other odds and ends. Most of these emails I don’t open because I can tell all the info I need from the title (ie. if it’s someone I want to ignore). But all excuses aside, I really should be on top of my emails. How many possibles leads have I missed in the rubbish I let pile up in my Inbox? Who knows? I hate to think about the money I’ve lost by just simply not keeping my Inbox organized.
At the end of the day, that’s what weaknesses do - they cost you money. My biggest problem is my email. What is yours? Email also? Spending too much time in your feed reader? Refreshing your analytics by the minute?
We all have weaknesses. Acknowledging them is the first step to defeating them and turning that lost cash into some green. I’m going to go ahead and clean up my Inbox, how about you get to work on your weakness too.
Yeah….
I broke 3000 in my gmail last week. my coworkers always give me shit about it.
