So let’s say you get a variety of e-mails on a regular basis that all require same response, there’s a great feature in Outlook that will allow you to respond to these in record time. It involves using Outlook signatures. Customize signatures for every “form e-mail” you send, then when a message comes in such as getting directions or product information, you can select a signature template and send message off. There’s also an auto-responder feature in Outlook few people are aware of. This allows you to set up an automated response without even having to touch e-mail message. This will require that e-mail have some sort of “trigger” whether it’s coming to a specific e-mail address or if it has a specific working in subject line. If it has an identifier then Outlook can be programmed to respond with an automated message. Remember that if you’re going to get organized, have more time for yourself, your family and your work, then you’re going to have to get serious about organizing your e-mail. Your inbox should be for temporary storage only, this is not a place to keep your to-do-list, follow-up-file, or calendar. If possible, keep your inbox to one screen only. The lighter inbox, less your load will seem and less overwhelmed you’ll be. Also, keep in mind that average time spent on a single e-mail message is four minutes, by implementing steps listed in this article you can limit minutes you spend sifting through and responding to e-mails and gain that extra two hours you have been looking for.
