Solutions for SPAM, email overload, and the stress they cause from time management and Outlook expert
Solutions for stress caused by SPAM and email overload in new book and at live seminars and Web events.
ATLANTA GA (PRWEB) June 21, 2004 -- Time management and Outlook expert, Peggy
Duncan, has declared war on stress caused by SPAM and e-mail overload with a new
book, Conquer Email Overload with Better Habits, Etiquette, and Outlook Tips and
Tricks; live seminars; and Web events.
Duncan explains that the problem
with email overload is not the new messages coming in every day, but rather the
mess that's already there. It's not uncommon for people to have hundreds or
thousands of messages in their Inboxes. They're keeping them because they opened
them and didn't do anything with them; they're using their Inbox as a to do list
and calendar reminders; they didn't think the messages were important enough to
open, but are keeping them just in case; or they think they could possibly use
them as evidence later (CYA).
“People often don't realize the stress
caused by an overflowing Inbox. Every time they open their Inbox, they see more
unfinished work, more demands on their time, and more missed deadlines and
broken promises. This easily leads to stress and lower morale,” Duncan
says.
Duncan advises people to set up a meeting with their Inbox to clean
it out. Their goal should be to always see the last message in their Inbox
without scrolling. The process involves getting organized so they can find
answers fast and turbo-charging Outlook to make it do a lot of the work.
Email overload is a hot topic and is a problem at all levels, from the
administrative assistant to the top executive. With the success of two seminars
in Atlanta, mainly because of the Outlook tips and tricks, Duncan has more
planned for Research Triangle Park and Washington, DC. To reach more people,
she'll start conducting eSeminars in real time via the Web in July. In February
2005, she'll present the topic on a cruise to the Bahamas as part of the
Possible Woman Leadership Series.
Duncan, whose time management expertise
was recently featured in O, the Oprah Magazine, is CEO of Duncan Resource Group,
Inc., with offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Washington, DC. Since 1997, her
productivity firm has helped busy professionals work smarter by improving their
organization, time management, and technology skills. She has written two
previous books on her training topics, and publishes a free, monthly online
magazine.
