Tips for Mastering overload By by Stever Robbins of the Harvard Business School Working Knowledge for Business Leaders.

The Problem Massive amounts of s. Massive amount of time to read the s. Deciding which s are worthy of your time. It is exceedingly easy to write, send and CC someone on an . can distract you from working on the things that should be your primary focus.

The Problem(con’t) s no only waste time they waist company and project resource (thus $)

The Solution According to Steve Robbins : Leaders should adopt and demonstrate a new policy. If people like it ask them to start using it.

Specific Suggestions According to Steve Robbins : The subject line should be a meaningful summary of what the is about. Bad Subject: Project Meeting Good Subject: Request agenda items for HR Project Kickoff Meeting.

Specific Suggestions For forwarded messages According to Steve Robbins : Many forwarded and Replied s simply state “I agree” or something like “Please look into this”. The reader is left with the time-consuming task of sifting around for the context of the message. Start your s with enough context to acclimate your reader. Example: In response to Karen’s request for new computer monitors, I believe we have budget dollar available to go forward.

Specific Suggestions For FWD/RE: messages According to Steve Robbins : Always remember include information that demonstrates why the reader should care. If the is being sent to multiple people, ensure that you enumerate what you want for each and every recipient. If you don’t want anything, you probably should not be sending the to them.

Specific Suggestions For FWD/RE: messages According to Steve Robbins : Always remember include information that demonstrates why the reader should care. If the is being sent to multiple people, ensure that you enumerate what you want for each and every recipient. If you don’t want anything, you probably should not be sending the to them. Seriously consider sending separate s with specific content (instead of just sending CC/BC s.

Specific Suggestions According to Steve Robbins : Ensure that requested actions are specific and clear (enumerate exactly what you want and when) Don’t just forward poorly written s. Edit them before you send them on. Again, ensure you give the recipient a reason to care.

Specific Suggestions According to Steve Robbins : Always insert meeting topics and times in the subject line for all appointments. Always include the agenda items in all meeting appointments. If you don’t have any agenda items, you should probably not be having the meeting.

Specific Suggestions According to Steve Robbins : Keep your s short (one page or less), concise and to the point. Get to the main point in the first sentence. If your ing someone regarding a time- sensitive matter, don’t assume that they will read and reply quickly. Instead you want to call them on the phone.

Specific Suggestions Reading/Receiving s According to Steve Robbins : Check s at specific times (rather than reading and responding to them constantly) Answer briefly.
