Stress<\/strong>: Emails in your inbox mean something is left undone. Every email should have one of the following five actions, thus meaning it shouldn\u2019t be in your inbox at the end of the day <\/p>\n

1. Discard the email (delete it, info isn\u2019t useful so get rid of it)
\n 2. Delegate the email (task it to someone, now, not tomorrow)
\n 3. Take immediate action (if it will take 5 minutes or less to resolve, do it now)
\n 4. File it permanently in a reference folder (don\u2019t leave it in the inbox *see performance issues \u2013 http:\/\/brainlitter.com\/2007\/07\/06\/keep-your-inbox-trim-2\/<\/a> *). Be sure to put it in a \u2018non-default\u2019 folder
