There are three key strategies needed to get control of email;

• WHEN – you must get control of when you give your attention to this aspect of your work
• WHAT – you need a consistent and effective method or system for processing email
• WHERE – you want to be able to file and retrieve email easily and quickly

This program looks at a whole new approach to managing your email that shifts your working focus from being inbox-based, interruption-driven and reactive to one that is calendar-based, plan-driven and proactive. You’ll learn how to manage email in a structured, rather than unstructured, way; how to address email with full rather than partial attention; how to single-task rather than multi-task; how to be proactive rather than reactive to email.

The first step to this program is to complete Triage Your Inbox, which is now a separate program to the rest of Revolutionise Your Inbox.

All other workshops (including a free Review and Coaching Session) are listed below:

• Email & Calendar Integration

Email & Calendar Integration

This workshop shows the master skill that allows you to shift from an inbox-based, interruption-driven and reactive working style to one that is calendar-based, plan-driven and proactive. You’ll learn how to convert email tasks into the calendar and integrate them with the rest of your workload and rely on the calendar as your master tool for managing your workload, timeframes and commitments (not your memory).

The WHAT Strategy (Step 2)

• The 4D Method (continued)
• Step 2: 4D Planning
• How to convert email tasks into the calendar
• Advanced features for managing your workload in the Calendar
• How to complete tasks in the calendar, including sending reply emails
• Recognise the D-Box concept and how it allows you to safely delete far more email than you’d think
• Best frequency for Triaging versus Planning

You’ll discover why you’re 81% more likely to complete your tasks when they are in the calendar and how to leverage the various powerful calendar functions to better and more easily manage your workload. This change will leave you feeling much more organised and in control and experiencing less stress and frustration.

Requirements: Outlook*, second screen (phone, smartpad, monitor), internet connection (headphones and microphone if possible).
*While the principles covered in this program apply regardless of the software being used, this program shows examples and ‘how to’ steps that apply only for various Outlook versions used on a PC not Mac).

File & Folder Management (90 mins)

This workshop covers the WHERE strategy and shows how to set up an email folder structure that allows you to quickly file and retrieve email. These days most email users have either developed a complex structure of email folders and sub folders (and sub, sub folders) that has been increasingly laborious to manage or they’ve given up on that and now leave everything in the inbox. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to combine the best of both worlds so that you’re able to automate your filing and harness the power of Outlook’s Advanced Find to retrieve email again quickly when you need it. It’s like ‘google’ for your email.

The WHERE Strategy

• A quick way to reduce mailbox size
• The principle of separating complete from incomplete
• 4 ways to simplify your email folder structure
• The benefits of using a single email folder for everything
• How to use Outlook colours and categories instead of folders
• Ways to harness the hidden power of Outlook’s Advanced Find (ie: Search)

What you learn at this workshop will radically simplify and speed up the way you file and find email, saving you 23 minutes per day (that’s 11 days per year), and reducing the frustration and angst you’ve so often experienced in the past when trying to find an old email.

Requirements: Outlook*, second screen (phone, smartpad, monitor), internet connection (headphones and microphone if possible).
*While the principles covered in this program apply regardless of the software being used, this program shows examples and ‘how to’ steps that apply only for various Outlook versions used on a PC not Mac).

Attention & Focus Management (90 mins)

Now that you have a better process for managing incoming email and the workload it delivers, let’s have a look at getting control of your focus and attentions so you can leverage these new skills and practices.

The WHEN Strategy

• Have a structured approach (proactive vs reactive)
• The way you start your day matters – set up your calendar as your default view
• Overcoming the first hurdle of the day – schedule time for email
• Review of various models of frequency for checking your inbox
• Turn off all email alerts to minimise interruptions
• Work offline options so you can stay focused even when working in the inbox
• Manage and clarify expectations about email responsiveness when working with others

What you learn will help to reduce email interruptions, distractions and multi-tasking, massively improve your focus and productivity and save you at least 19 minutes per day (ie: more than 9 days per year).

Requirements: Outlook*, second screen (phone, smartpad, monitor), internet connection (headphones and microphone if possible).
