"Did this really need to be an email?"
I ask people this all the time in my masterclasses and trainings.
If you ask yourself this question with every email the next time you look through your inbox, you’ll start noticing a few things pretty quickly.
A quick question that turns into a long response.
A thread where multiple topics get discussed at once.
An update you didn’t really need to be on.
Someone copying you just so you stay in the loop.
None of these feel like a big deal on their own.
But when enough of them show up every day, a surprising amount of time ends up getting spent inside the inbox.
Sometimes simply noticing that pattern is the first step toward changing it.
Try it next time you open your inbox and let me know what you notice. ⬇️
