Got Email? - Part 1

In this episode of Career Tools, titled "Got Email? Part 1," Sarah and Mark discuss strategies for managing and prioritizing email to increase efficiency and reduce time spent on it. They emphasize the importance of using technology effectively by turning off email alerts, subdividing inboxes using folders for different priorities (boss, team, projects, CC'd messages), and avoiding the use of email as a task management system. The speakers advocate for deleting or archiving messages regularly, including using a "five-week folder" for less urgent items, and promote the idea of batch processing emails in three dedicated 30-minute sessions per day to minimize distractions and enhance productivity.
