<h4>Basic Email Management Rules</h4>
🔕 **Disable Notifications**:
Silence those pings! Notifications can disrupt your workflow.
🕒 **Scheduled Check-Ins**:
Set specific times to check your email. Avoid the constant distraction of notifications and stay focused on your core tasks.
📑 **Sort and Triage**:
Quickly categorize emails into priority levels. Deal with urgent matters first, and schedule less critical ones for later.
✅ **Zero Inbox Daily**:
Aim to clear your inbox daily. It's a simple but powerful habit that keeps your workload manageable.
<h4>Rules for Writing an Email</h4>
🚫 **No Long Emails**:
Don't ever problem-solve in an email. Avoid using it for lengthy, in-depth communication, especially when involving multiple people.
📌 **Bullet Points**:
Keep your emails concise with bullet points. Limit each email to a maximum of 5 key points for clarity and brevity.
🎯 **Mind Your Audience**:
Tailor your messages to the recipient's needs. Be clear, concise, and respectful of their time.
