With the invention of email, fax has gone the way of the ghost. Email fax is now the king. One of the big advantages of Internet fax is that you will have a digital documentation of every fax that you’ve received.
But many of the advantages of using this technology will be useless unless you figure out how to manage that email inbox. Many of us receive a hundred or several hundred emails a day. It can be maddening to use this technology that is supposed to save time. Sometimes we can spend all day working on our email inbox without actually working.
So here’s a few rules of thumb:
1. Don’t permanently delete any email. You never know when that insignificant email is going to come in handy. When your boss comes to you and says, do you have an email you sent to me about a year ago about______, it’s your moment to shine. You find that email and your boss will be extremely impressed. Better yet, find an email that your manager sent you that they can’t find, and he or she will be indebted to you.
For the rest of the list see tomorrow’s continuation.
