Episode 57: Smart Habits for Managing Your Inbox
Having a freelance translation or interpreting business means that you depend quite a bit on your email inbox. At least, we know we do!
You probably correspond with most of your clients via email, as well as colleagues and others who need to reach you or send you important information.
But it’s really easy to let your inbox take over your work-life (and perhaps your home-life, too!). We know that we have felt this way on and off through the years, especially as email quickly took over as the main form of communication.
So, today we want to share our thoughts and tips on managing your inbox so it doesn’t manage you!
Tune in to hear our conversation on:
Why it’s healthier for your business and work/life clarity to set yourself up for success with your inbox
Why it’s important to do a quick audit of what you receive and send on a regular basis and determine if it’s all truly necessary
What filing systems we use in our inboxes
How we handle incoming emails that we haven’t yet seen or replied to
What we do with emails that seem to have a lot of back-and-forth
Our thoughts on when and how often to check your email
How to set boundaries around emails on evenings and weekends
