I’ve written before about how much I like delegation and automation. Here’s a trick for managing too much communication. Gmail has a great “lab” called “send and archive”. It makes it one click to reply and get the email out of your inbox. If this makes you nervous, add a BCC to FollowUpThen. The goal is to get the email out of your inbox, until the person responds. Then it pops back up for your attention. If they don’t reply? It wasn’t meant to happen. …Or check your Spam folder.
