As email insinuates itself into our lives, making itself indispensable in so many ways, we need every strategy at our disposal to keep it under control and to let it be the wonderful tool that it can be. So I wanted to share this article by Stever Robbins which contains some useful tips.

Fortunately, being buried alive under electronic missives forced me to develop coping strategies. Let me share some of the nonobvious ones with you. Together, maybe we can start a revolution. Read Stever’s Tips
