You CAN Get Tasks and Email Under Control<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s January again, <\/strong>and the new year’s resolution season is upon us. So, let\u2019s resolve to get tasks and email under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s good to tackle both tasks and email together since, in many businesses, up to 90% of new tasks arrive by email. Tackling tasks, if done right, will get email under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It Simply Takes 4 Steps to Move this Forward<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Commitment:<\/strong> make a commitment to reach that control. Without that, the next 3 steps won\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Technology:<\/strong> make a small commitment in new technology\u2014you might need a new task management app or email management tool. On a Mac I recommend the Things app for tasks; you can use any email system with Things. On a Windows PC, Microsoft Outlook is great. Todoist is a good app for both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But an app is useless without the next point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Methodology:<\/strong> this is key, you must understand that having the right task and email methodology<\/em> in place is what makes this work. I am biased of course, but I\u2019ve never found a methodology that works better than the MYN, 1MTD<\/a>, and Outlook Ninja<\/a> methodologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See this short video<\/a> that explains how my methodologies are different, and which you should use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. A Little Training:<\/strong> the above steps can\u2019t be achieved by simply loading a new app on your smartphone. Too many of us try that easy way out but fail. Rather, it takes at least a little<\/em> training to put the methodology in place, and to learn how to apply that methodology to technology (we show which apps and software to use). Of course, that\u2019s my specialty: self-study video training to do just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See my store page<\/a> for a list of those video courses. They are easy to use and will get you going quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
