We Recruit Well | March 2022 Bonus Edition

Not sure Inbox Zero is right for you? We agree it's not realistic to keep this up on a consistent basis. Other options might work better for you. Here are a few we have tried:?

1. ?? OHIO Method - Returning to an email over and over again can be a waste of time. Only Handle It Once works well if you are committed to open the email, take immediate action, close it, then move on.
2. ?? 80/20 Principle - We find only about 20% of emails require immediate attention. The remaining 80% are usually not as important. Prioritize the 20% and move the others to a TBD folder. You can delegate those or set aside a time each week to sift through.
3. ? 2 Minute Rule - If taking action on an email takes less than two minutes, do it immediately, then archive it. This rule works well in conjunction with the OHIO method. It’s gratifying to see what you can accomplish in only a few minutes each day.

Now is your chance to put one of these options into action. Will you use OHIO, 80/20, or take a couple of minutes to clean up your email??

Until next time,

Beth and Paige
