Productivity Strategist Tackles 'Inbox Black Hole'

Public Invited to Join Minding Your Matters® for Live Teleclass

CARY, N.C. -- An average of 294 billion emails are sent per day. Some days, it seems like most of those end up in your inbox; you can't find a thing.

Productivity strategist Janice Russell offers ways to avoid email falling through the cracks in a new teleclass, "How to Deal with Email So It Will Leave the Inbox!"

"The new teleclass will teach people how to sort and purge email so they can find the information they need," Russell said.

"From voice mail to snail mail to email, we're inundated with a flood of incoming things in this Information Age," said Russell, president of Minding Your Matters.® Organizing "The information can lead to overwhelm, which causes frustration, and often leads to losing important items." 

The one-hour class will take place at noon EDT Friday, Sept. 23. Topics include how to: 

• Distinguish the importance of emails from their source
• Identify actions to handle email more efficiently
• Pinpoint appropriate tools to decrease email "overwhelm" 

"Processing email takes time, and often distracts us away from accomplishing our work that day," Russell said. "In this class, we'll discuss techniques for crawling out of the 'black hole' and finding what you need."

The class is $17. The public is invited to register at http://mymorg-email2011.eventbrite.com. All who sign up receive a link to the downloadable audio, so live attendance isn't required.

The new teleclass is the latest in a series of classes offered by Minding Your Matters. Russell's next class, "How to Organize Your Holidays so You Can Enjoy Them!" will take place Nov. 4.
