Do you ever have days where your work is driven by your email inbox, where you’re constantly replying to emails – barring the odd meeting or a hurried lunch at your desk? With the average office worker receiving around 70 emails a day, it’s no surprise that the pressure of arriving emails encourages focus on your inbox.

In a guest article I recently wrote for Training Journal, I’ve provided ideas for avoiding the false urgency of a constantly pinging email inbox into a far more strategic and productive working experience.
Your inbox may not do strategy, but you certainly can.
Enjoy.
