The problem: email overload

How to spend less time doing email

Don’t *always* respond right away

Don’t reply all

Create norms in your office

Use a “team site” like Basecamp

Discuss live. Email to tell

If 1, 1-line reply solves it, do it now

Create “email hours”

Wrong conventional wisdom

Wrong conventional wisdom

I will be chained down

I have to reply instantly

I can never shut off

My clients will own me

People will call me if it’s urgent

Nobody expects me to be mobile

How mobile email can help

Monitor for what’s urgent easily

Leave the office any time

Clients perceive responsiveness

Travel without a laptop

Nobody knows *your* schedule

Make “wait time” productive time

What it means for your staff

25% sleep with it at bedside

Mostly see it as a perk!

Clients see responsiveness

Save money – no laptops!

Save money – no cell phone!

Work 1 hour more per day avg.
