Merlin Mann (43 Folders), David Allen (author of “Getting Things Done“) and Julie Morgenstern (author of numerous productivity books), all take potshots at our favorite medium, email.

Here are some highlights:

  • Reduce unnecessary emails - unsubscribe to mailing lists and reduce the number of emails you send.
  • Turn off email - interruptions from email can be extremely detrimental to productivity.
  • Read
