Does this kind of situation sound familiar?
A client wants to book a session with you, but there’s this frustrating and time-consuming series of email exchanges about possible dates and times. “Oh, that doesn’t work for me. Can we do 3 pm PST instead?”

When’s the last time something unexpected happened in your business?
Maybe you lost a contractor and had to scramble to find another one only to realize that your program could no longer launch in time.
Or maybe your family had an emergency and needed you, so you got behind on a few projects.
Unexpected things happen and sometimes we’re not able to follow through with the systems we’ve set in place.
Don’t get caught up in feeling disappointed.
Get yourself back on track!

How many times have you opened an email, read it, closed it, and made a mental note to come back to it again, because you didn’t have time for whatever task was inside?
How many times have you accidentally come across this e-mail days, weeks, or even months later and realized that you never responded to it?
Have you lost a potential client by doing this? Have you ever felt embarrassed by how long it’s taken you to respond to someone?
You need to tame your inbox habit!

When you want to boost productivity and get truly organized, technology can be so helpful.
However, moderation is key.
Too many tools can easily become yet another thing you’ve got to manage and wind up “eating up” your time instead of giving you more of it.
The trick?
Select tools that help you accomplish several functions at once.
