Minimizing Time on Email

I dedicated a blog just for this:

Minimizing Time on Email !

I feel we all probably are guilty of spending too much time checking email!

I realized that I needed to establish a set routine for checking email at certain times instead of a 24 hour a day kind of thing... really is my email that important?!  Yes but not so important that I need to stop everytime I see an email come in! 

I could only find myself 1 solution... CLOSE OUT OF OUTLOOK! 

So I am trying something new this week... closing out of outlook and checking email 3 times throughout the day and then closing it out again.  I am hoping this will help me be more productive each day.  Perhaps many of you do this already and if so tell me how it worked out for you!

Thanks and wish me luck on saving some precious time!
