Sarah Tetlow: The ARTT - Touch Once Philosophy to Get Your Email Organized
In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sarah Tetlow discuss: Why email is so important and so readily used by lawyers. Ways to manage your inbox to make it effortless. What ARTT stands for and how it can help you manage your inbox. Tips for better managing your email. Key Takeaways: Treat your email like a mixed bag of jellybeans. Keep only your favorites (what needs to be done) in your inbox and keep them from being buried. You have the choice of what to do with what comes into your inbox - Action, Reference, Tracking, or Trash. If you’re overwhelmed and bogged down with thousands of emails, get some help to get it cleared out, utilize your filters or quick steps, and only touch once. Some things are better communicated through phone or a meeting than they are through email. "There are three Touch Once - you should touch the email one time only. Those are your actions, your reference archival, and then it's your delete." — Sarah Tetlow Episode References: ARTT: arttemail.com or organizemyinbox.com Be That Lawyer Podcast Episode 52: Sarah Tetlow: Maximizing Your Time and Life David Allen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidallengtd/ Book: Getting Things Done by David Allen Be That Lawyer Podcast Episode 236: Sarah Reiff-Hekking: Time Management to Take Back Your Life and Business Connect with Sarah Tetlow: Website: Firm-Focus.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sarah-tetlow-42688b8/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/firm-focus-llc Facebook: facebook.com/Firm-Focus-2133715496717831/ Thank you to our Sponsors!
