You’d think with all the complaining one hears about email that someone would ask for help in managing their inbox. But they don’t. There are several reasons why people don’t search for or are uninterested in a solution for managing their email better. Here are five of them.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that being productive means getting a lot of email done. Many of us spend hours every day responding to emails, sorting through our inbox, and sending out quick replies just to clear the backlog. But what if all that time spent on email is actually making us less productive in the long run?
The truth is, not all emails are created equal. Some are easy to deal with and require a quick response, while others require more thought and consideration. The problem is that we often prioritize the easy emails over the important ones, thinking that we’re being productive by clearing our inbox as quickly as possible.
The reality is that focusing on the easy emails is a form of procrastination. It’s easier to deal with the emails that require a quick response than to tackle the more complex ones that require more time and effort. But by doing so, we’re neglecting the emails that are actually important and need...
If you are a fan of the methodology espoused by David Allen in his book “Getting Things Done” (GTD), you may find that you will appreciate the approach and functionality of LeanMail (LM). GTD is a system for managing tasks and projects that emphasizes the importance of breaking down large tasks into smaller, actionable steps, and focusing on the most important and urgent tasks first.

If you have ever bought a diamond ring, you probably know about the 4C’s of diamonds: cut, color, clarity, and carats.
It’s also fine if you don’t.
Maybe the size of the diamond was the main thing you cared about because, let’s face it, it’s the most obvious characteristic and you’re probably not going to carry around the certificate to show people the other more subtle values. Perhaps, however, you will place equal value on all four of the C’s because you want more sparkle in your diamond. All these subtle elements are measurable – even though they are difficult to see using the naked eye. As a matter of fact, they are difficult if not impossible to see for professionals even when they are using a loop. This is why diamond sellers depend on certification.
Unlike diamonds, productivity tools don’t come with a certificate; but wouldn’t it be great if they did! Imagine: ...
