In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sarah Tetlow discuss:

  • Why email is so important and so readily used by lawyers.
  • Ways to manage your inbox to make it effortless.
  • What ARTT stands for and how it can help you manage your inbox.
  • Tips for better managing your email.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Treat your email like a mixed bag of jellybeans. Keep only your favorites (what needs to be done) in your inbox and keep them from being buried.
  • You have the choice of what to do with what comes into your inbox – Action, Reference, Tracking, or Trash.
  • If you’re overwhelmed and bogged down with thousands of emails, get some help to get it cleared out, utilize your filters or quick steps, and only touch once.
  • Some things are better communicated through phone or a meeting than they are through email.

 

“There are three Touch Once – you should touch the email one time only. Those are your actions, your reference archival, and then it’s your delete.” —  Sarah Tetlow
