Gina Trapani, the founding editor of productivity blog Lifehacker.com, offers her two fail-safe rules for spending less time in your in-box.
1. Ignore the Grapevine
We gossip about the office over e-mail. We complain about our colleagues over e-mail. A little back-and-forth isn't a bad thing. But if you're truly busy, just don't respond.
2. Shut It Down
E-mail should not be the heartbeat of your workday. Close the screen. Check it three or four times. There's no trick other than doing it. If it's important, they can call you.
