I need to hear these words about a strategy to manage time better–words that are challenging, convicting, and encouraging:
“Plan specific times for checking email. It is easy to become a slave to your inbox, checking your email every few minutes. Instead, designate a specific time or times throughout the day when you will check and answer email. You can let people know that they should not expect an immediate response from you, even though you are diligent to respond promptly.”
