I thank you for the tip on Merlin Mann. Any time savers for managing email are very well appreciated. I like to use folders for sorting but now that is getting out of hand.

Emails are nice,
but nothing beats a real handwritten letter.
It costs a little bit more time, but it’s
been more thought behind it too…or?
And emails - who is saving them, even if
only on CD-ROM’s? Paperletters from my
grandparents… loveletters..

There’s a nice Google talk by Merlin Mann about how to manage modern email. It’s called Inbox Zero.

I wonder if E-Mail, as a form of communication, would be so popular if it were not so cheap….? It is paradox that many humans only value something if is has a hight price?! There are positive and negative aspects to all things in life. Good organisation and discipline are paramount to controlling office stress. This includes the discipline of making choices, to answer immediately or not at all ;-)

Time management is very important,you can end up checking things all day long .Once a day is fine to check your mail .Email is such a good way to communicate with people instead of snail mail as they call it .And yes it is polite to reply to someone if they write to you ,just as you would return a phone call same applies its Common courtesy .Email is the way …it replaces alot of faxes and ph calls plus you can delete messages when you are finished without the paper trail …and it saves trees .. I love that movie -YOU”VE GOT MAIL …Blessings Tania
