What do you think about my general presence
0:04
on email? I
0:06
would say you're not the best of email. I
0:09
just think you missed things. Sometimes. The problem
0:11
with you and sending emails is that it's
0:14
very unpredictable when
0:16
you will read, if you will read,
0:19
and when you will reply. First time
0:21
I met you, I was introduced to you. You gave
0:23
me your business card and said here, this is my
0:25
email if you need to get in touch, and
0:28
so literally like that night,
0:30
I emailed you and said, hey, it
0:33
was nice to meet you. Here are some things that
0:35
would be helpful, and I
0:37
never heard back. Once I
0:39
sent an email saying, hey, I really want to
0:41
go to this conference. I need to sign up
0:43
for it by Friday
0:46
and it's Wednesday. Do you think I can do it?
0:48
And I kind of forgot about it,
0:50
and then I didn't hear back from
0:52
you. So by the time that we did
0:54
get around and discussing it, it was the next week I
0:57
didn't get to go. So more often
0:59
than not, I just wander over and talk to
1:01
you. Definitely no to harass
1:04
you on chat, and
1:07
if all else fails to engage
1:09
with you in person, and
1:11
then I guess if that if if you're still
1:13
am I, I might go to to your
1:15
boss, where
1:18
would you say I rank and like among all the people
1:20
you work with? Am I like the worst about email? Or
1:23
am I? Am I in the middle? Or am I close
1:25
to the bottom. I don't think
1:27
you're at the very bottom, but you're near
1:29
the bottom
1:31
if we're being honest. So
1:41
what you just heard was a
1:43
bunch of my colleagues totally
1:46
dissing my email habits. I
1:48
knew I wasn't great an email, but
1:51
I didn't realize I was making everyone else's
1:53
lives that much harder. This
1:56
week on Works for Me, I try to
1:58
fix it. Um. Welcome
2:09
to Works for Me, the show where we improve
2:11
ourselves using productivity hats
2:13
to see if they'll work for you. I'm
2:16
back at Greenfield, and I'm Francesca leaving.
2:18
This week it is Francesca's turn to
2:21
change something about the way she works.
2:23
Francesca, what's bothering you about
2:25
your productivity? This week? I'm
2:29
bad at email, Like,
2:32
very, very very bad at email. My
2:35
work inbox is so overwhelming that
2:37
I'm drowning in it. I actually miss
2:40
emails that are pretty important. I
2:42
just won't see them because of all the other stuff that comes
2:44
in and when I do spot a relevant
2:47
email and open it and read it, I
2:49
don't actually have a good system for handling
2:51
and dispatching each email quickly.
2:54
So I'm hearing two problems. One is that your
2:56
inbox is overwhelming, which is a problem a lot
2:58
of us have. My work
3:00
email is certainly like that. My personal
3:02
email is definitely more under control. Congratulations,
3:05
thank you. But then the other problem
3:07
I'm hearing is that you haven't figured out how to thrive
3:09
in this chaos. I basically
3:12
avoid it. I see the sheer number of
3:14
emails and it scares me and I go burrow
3:16
under a rock, which is a problem
3:18
since email is a main form of communication
3:21
for a better worse in our world. To
3:24
be fair, I didn't get into
3:26
this situational by myself. The modern
3:28
workplace is in an email crisis.
3:30
We're drowning in a deluge of email
3:33
and jargon. The average corporate
3:35
employee in this two thousand mind
3:37
you received anywhere from fifty
3:40
emails per day, and it's growing at
3:42
about fifteen per year. So if you
3:44
do the math, it would double every four and a half to five
3:46
years. That's Phil Simon, a professor
3:49
at Arizona State University. He
3:51
wrote a book called Message Not Received,
3:53
all about how the corporate world is crippled
3:56
by too much email. He's
3:58
not wrong. I live that problem. Um. I
4:01
decided to sit down at home with my husband Mike
4:03
and diagnose just how bad the problem
4:05
had gotten. All right,
4:07
so I'm gonna show you one day. One
4:10
day is worth of email. Okay, So
4:12
this is like there's
4:16
twenty emails per page, So
4:19
six pages, six times twenty
4:23
unread well total emails? Is
4:28
that something like all that that
4:31
you haven't read? Yes? Or
4:34
does this include spam email? I
4:37
get a lot of pr um
4:39
like public relations firms put you on mailing
4:41
lists, So I have a lot
4:43
of unwanted mailing list emails. So
4:46
then why don't you just delete them if you know you're
4:48
not going to read them?
4:51
A good question? I
4:53
mean, I mean I think I get
4:55
overwhelmed because it's so much.
4:57
Look how close these emails came in together,
5:00
like to seven to one,
5:05
so they just like they just come
5:07
in like an avalianche checking your email.
5:09
Right, I know, But I to make this workout
5:12
have to be constantly deleting these exactly.
5:14
That's how it works. If you go to lunch and come
5:16
back to your desk and you haven't looked
5:18
at it for thirty minutes, forty minutes, Um,
5:22
how many new emails would it have, say,
5:26
I would have like new
5:29
emails. Yeah, I
5:31
mean that's so that's why it's hard for me to
5:34
delete. Yeah,
5:36
but it sounds like there's also a lot of things that you're subscribed
5:39
to that you should just unsubscribe
5:41
because that's the
5:43
same effect as deleting emails to
5:47
these pr email spam.
5:50
These are really insidious, Like these are the ones. I
5:52
think that this is going to be the biggest challenge. This is
5:54
the thing that I'm is going to be my um golies.
6:00
Is that the right metaphor going
6:03
to be my I don't feel
6:05
like that's what I'm looking for, But it's gonna be my
6:07
dragon to slay. It
6:10
sounds like my custom hausom good advice for
6:12
you, But my inbox definitely
6:14
looks a lot like yours. That's a lot
6:16
of unwanted things that I
6:18
just don't deal with. That's actually
6:21
kind of refreshing to hear, because I feel like you often
6:24
have good hygiene about these things. Mike just too.
6:26
I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who
6:29
just doesn't do anything about
6:31
these emails. Okay,
6:42
so everybody is sending too many emails,
6:44
it's not just you, but you sound
6:46
like you have a pretty big problem here. You're
6:50
getting a lot of emails, but you're also not
6:52
responding to them quickly or at
6:55
all. So how are you going to do that? I
6:58
really wanted a solution that didn't require to use
7:00
any new tech or install any apps system
7:03
that anybody could use on any email software.
7:06
So I'm going classic. I'm
7:08
doing inbox zero. Well,
7:10
in box zero, so that's like no emails
7:12
in your inbox ever, right, It's actually
7:14
pretty straightforward philosophy. It was developed
7:17
all the way back in two thousand seven by Merlin
7:19
Man. He's a writer, podcaster and
7:21
productivity guy. And yeah, it's
7:23
basically a filing system for your electronic
7:26
mail. And just like it sounds, inbox
7:28
zero dictates that you should end every
7:31
day with an empty inbox, either deleted
7:33
or filed into folders every single email
7:35
you've gotten. That sounds like a lot
7:37
of time spent on your email. And I think that's
7:40
some of the criticism to inbox zero and
7:42
systems like it, that's that it sets those really high
7:44
expectation and bar for people that
7:46
they have to do this really intense email
7:48
maintenance every single day. Yeah, I think
7:50
that in all of the years that inbox zero has
7:52
been around as an idea, there's definitely
7:54
been something about backlash to it, and that's
7:56
part of it that it takes so much time, And people also
7:59
say it's kind of a way of feeling
8:01
productive without being productive, because you're just you're
8:03
spending lots of time doing something, but what you're
8:05
doing is just your email. So I
8:08
get all those criticisms, and
8:10
I do think there's a danger that I'll spend a lot of time on it,
8:12
But I'm also I have to do something like I'm
8:14
in an email emergency right now, so
8:17
I think I've got to try the most extreme
8:19
thing I know of. Okay, so you're
8:21
going to become an inbox zero person. I'm
8:24
excited for you and your transformation, But
8:26
what's the exact system that you're going to follow
8:28
to get to invox zero? First,
8:31
I need to set up rules, including
8:34
folders and filters
8:36
on my email and even just telling
8:38
people in various ways
8:40
not to email me so much so I
8:43
don't get as many emails in the future that step
8:45
one. Next, I need
8:47
to get rid of everything sitting in my
8:49
inbox right now, which
8:51
is a lot, and I don't know how long that will
8:53
take. Finally, every day
8:55
after that, I'm going to assign three twenty
8:58
minute dashes where I can dedicate my self
9:00
to allotting emails to their proper place.
9:03
It seems like you have it all figured out.
9:05
How will you know whether your experiment is
9:08
a success. If
9:10
I can spend one week and finish every
9:12
day with an empty inbox, I've one. I've
9:14
conquered my email problem.
9:17
Good luck. Step
9:28
one of inbox zero, make
9:31
some rules. I was going to set up
9:33
folders and filters and
9:35
send a message to my colleagues that I am
9:37
not an email person anymore. This
9:40
was to try to lower the sheer number of emails
9:42
that I was getting. First,
9:44
I was going to set up some folders. I
9:46
got the idea from a Fast Company article
9:49
to make folders based on time,
9:52
not by subject. So the folders I set
9:54
up are called today,
9:58
this week, this month, M, and
10:01
F Y I. F Y I is where
10:03
everything goes that you might need to reference later,
10:05
but it doesn't require a response. I
10:08
did other things to limit how many new emails.
10:10
I got Phil, our email expert,
10:13
had given me a tip if an email chain goes
10:15
longer than three emails, it should
10:17
move to another medium. So I
10:20
put that rule in my email
10:22
signature. This turned
10:24
out to be harder than I expected. This
10:28
feels crazy to put this in my even
10:31
this to put this in my I
10:37
for email chains
10:40
longer than three
10:44
emails, please
10:50
call instead call
10:56
her message instead. Oh
11:02
this feels weird. All
11:05
right, I'm going to save it.
11:09
So it sounds like you're having a problem
11:12
where you're thinking about
11:14
other people more than yourself.
11:18
Yeah, because you're scared that you're going to find
11:20
someone with your email signature, when really
11:22
you're doing it in service of being a better
11:24
emailer and not because you're a mean person
11:27
who hates everybody. No, that's true. I should
11:29
have thought about it that way. And also, like, I'm
11:32
making other people's lives harder right now with my emails.
11:34
So even if I
11:36
make their life momentarily more annoying because
11:38
they have to read my somebody,
11:43
Yeah, and that's okay, but not as
11:45
much as I would upset somebody by not responding
11:47
to their true I did
11:49
a little more prep to set myself up for success.
11:51
Once my inbox is clear, I signed
11:54
emails from important people a special color
11:56
in my inbox, so they showed up above the noise, and
11:59
I saved tem blitz for the common emails
12:01
I send out all the time. Okay,
12:03
now it was time for step two, purging
12:06
my inbox. I had done everything
12:08
I could think of to slow down the barrage of
12:10
emails I was getting, But now
12:12
I had to tackle my real demon, my
12:14
ridiculously over stuffed inbox.
12:17
I had a year's worth of unread
12:20
or undealt with or just irrelevant
12:22
emails, thousands and thousands
12:24
of them. So
12:27
I did something radical and kind of controversial
12:29
here, something that inbox zero recommends
12:32
for some people called the email
12:34
d m Z. What is
12:36
the email d MZ? This
12:39
is where you basically take a bomb to your inbox.
12:41
I decided to wipe every
12:44
email older than two months, just zap
12:46
it gone. If it was
12:48
important and I didn't respond, it was probably too
12:50
late. Becca. Do you think you could do this?
12:52
Delete hundreds of emails in one shot without even
12:54
like checking on what they were. Yes, I am so
12:57
on board for this. I've actually wrote an article
12:59
about this one. I wrote an article about after
13:01
you come back from a vacation to
13:03
delete all the emails from before vacation. Just
13:05
do it. There's no Yeah, like you said, if it's important,
13:08
and I'll come back up again. And if you missed
13:10
it two months ago, you've probably missed your window.
13:12
Yeah. I think there's also a nagging fear that
13:15
there's just something important in there, like not
13:17
necessarily something I needed to respond to, but some crucial
13:19
piece of information that
13:22
I was going to delete and never find again. And I haven't
13:25
tested whether that's actually true, but
13:27
I suspect we I think
13:29
we think that's true more than it actually is,
13:31
Like we're not storing as much valuable
13:34
gems of info in our email as we
13:36
think we are. I wouldn't even know how to find
13:38
it. I
13:49
was ready to lift the weight of these
13:51
thousands of emails off me. It
13:54
was kind of scary, to be honest, just get
13:56
rid of them all in one big
13:58
select all swoop, you
14:00
know what. I'm just I just gotta do it. This is
14:02
crazy. I have thousands of
14:04
emails in here, so
14:07
I'm going to expand this window. Oh
14:09
my god, this is nerve racking. Okay, am
14:12
I really doing this? And
14:15
I'm just gonna do. Oh
14:18
my god, I have so many emails. I can't even understand.
14:21
Oh I got here, Okay,
14:24
here we go, shift
14:27
click delete, delete,
14:31
delete. But
14:34
I immediately ran into a problem.
14:37
Deleting the emails was not going to be a
14:39
one click deal. Our email system
14:41
doesn't actually have a select all function,
14:44
so I could only select about twenty emails
14:46
at a time. I was going to have to
14:48
go through these screen by
14:50
excruciating screen. This
14:52
would take hours. Delete
14:56
delete, shift
14:58
click delete. I've
15:04
been deleting, responding to
15:07
an archiving emails
15:09
for the last twenty minutes and I haven't even
15:11
gotten past today. So I'm going
15:13
to have to go home and pick it
15:15
up again from home because
15:18
this has to get done. This is a
15:20
shocking amount of time. While
15:29
I cleared the backlog, I also started
15:31
in on the emails I had decided to save from
15:33
the past two months, responding
15:36
to archiving or deleting every single
15:38
one. It took forever. I
15:40
was at the office two hours late and I still wasn't
15:42
done. To be honest, I was getting exhausted.
15:45
I went home, kissed my sleeping kid,
15:48
and got right back to my laptop. At
15:51
around ten thirty that night, I was finally
15:53
done, which is to say it took me around
15:55
six hours just to delete old emails
15:57
and respond to her file the ones that had
15:59
come in the past a couple of months. I'm
16:03
finally done. I'm
16:07
done sorting through emails,
16:10
deleting emails, categorizing
16:12
emails, responding in to emails, and
16:15
my inbox is empty. I
16:18
feel tired. That took
16:21
way way longer than I expected,
16:24
even the deleting part, but
16:27
I'm so glad I did. I feel
16:31
I feel like more
16:33
competent as a person
16:35
and a worker and a manager just
16:38
for doing that. It's
16:40
an amazing way to go to bed, which
16:42
I'm going to do right now because I'm really tired. And
16:46
then my inbox was empty.
16:49
I went to sleep, ready to start
16:51
my new life as an empty inbox
16:54
person. The question is
16:57
what would happen when new emails started coming
16:59
in find out after the
17:01
break. The
17:18
next day, I woke up feeling like
17:21
a new person. I
17:27
was free from all of those emails that
17:29
had been dragging me down. I had
17:31
spent the night before making sure
17:33
my inbox was Christine. I
17:37
walked over to my desk, opened
17:39
up my laptop, and
17:43
there they were dozens
17:46
of new emails. I
17:48
already had twenty two new pr
17:51
spam emails alone. This
17:55
was not going to be easy. It
17:57
was time to solve the next big email
17:59
problem. I had no system
18:02
for dealing with emails quickly when they came in. I
18:05
was done with steps one and two, make
18:08
rules and purge my inbox. Now
18:11
I needed to start on step three, keep
18:13
it up. I decided on a simplified
18:15
version of the steps. In Box zero lays out
18:18
scheduling email dashes throughout the day,
18:21
where you decide quickly whether to file, respond
18:23
to, or delete every email. Since
18:25
my folders would help me decide how quickly to
18:27
respond to things, I'd go through my inbox
18:29
three times a day for twenty minutes, and
18:31
then check my folders daily, weekly, and
18:33
monthly. My first email
18:36
dash of the day was at ten am,
18:38
and I had to deal with these mailing lists.
18:41
I think every profession probably has their own
18:43
special spam, and this is the kind
18:45
journalists get. Becca. Let me read you
18:47
some lines from these emails. I
18:50
know you cover advertising business news, so I
18:52
wanted to send this over to you right away so you have
18:54
the full scoop. I don't cover advertising, and it
18:56
wasn't a scoop? Or February
18:59
is International Boost Self Esteem
19:01
Month? Or is
19:03
a nose job? A no note for your kid? Parental
19:05
tips on team plastic surgery. I
19:08
know you must get these two. How
19:10
do you deal with them? Yeah? I think I even got some
19:12
of those exact same emails. How
19:14
do I deal with them? Ignore? I
19:16
just let them glaze like I
19:19
let my eyes glance over them and
19:21
decide they're unimportant. It's the
19:23
same way like when you have a mess in your
19:26
house for long enough, you stop seeing it. Yeah.
19:29
The reality of the situation is that itomb
19:31
is important things, usually not from
19:34
people I know, But I'll get pitched
19:36
things that I probably should cover. But because I
19:38
have my system involves me ignoring
19:41
most emails, things fall through
19:43
the trucks. Yeah. The worst thing about
19:45
these types of emails is that sometimes even when
19:47
you unsubscribe, it does nothing. Because
19:49
I did try that at first. I spent
19:51
about a day going and clicking on the little
19:54
four point font way way way at
19:56
the bottom of every email. But then
19:58
I realized it wasn't working. I
20:00
kept getting emails from the same senders,
20:03
so I tried something more extreme. Our company
20:05
software lets us block every email
20:07
from a certain domain, so when i'd get an
20:09
email from a list I knew I had already n subscribed
20:12
from, they got blocked. It
20:15
finally started to work, and the new
20:17
emails I was getting slowed down. I
20:20
also gingerly started
20:22
trying to train people to send me fewer
20:25
emails that email signature
20:27
I had added about not sending chains longer than
20:30
three emails. A colleague saw it and
20:32
called me a hero. And
20:34
one email threat that involved around twenty
20:36
people and had gone on for more than twenty
20:38
emails, I replied to
20:40
it with a helpful link, explained
20:43
that I couldn't add anything more to the conversation,
20:45
and asked to be taken off the chain, and
20:48
it worked. Meanwhile,
20:50
I was responding to the relevant emails like a
20:52
machine. I couldn't stand
20:55
seeing my beautiful, pristine, empty
20:57
email get cluttered, so
20:59
when more than two or three emails built up, I
21:01
panic and start responding. So
21:05
I'm looking at around twelve new
21:07
emails. I'm just gonna
21:10
zip right through them. Okay,
21:14
I am supposed to submit a podcast
21:17
for an award. Why
21:20
not let's submit,
21:23
send it done, and I'm going to delete
21:28
delete great, okay,
21:31
An email to someone
21:33
who reports to me, which I'm copied
21:35
on, so I'm
21:37
going to apply
21:41
to that person. So
21:44
I'm saying, Hi, please
21:46
do this so I don't get
21:49
any more emails about
21:51
it. Send
21:56
delete. I
21:58
was getting really good at sponding
22:00
and people were noticing. Listen to
22:02
all my haters who were in the studio before,
22:05
eat their words. Have
22:07
you noticed any changes since I started
22:10
doing endbox zero? I have
22:12
It's like night and day. Um,
22:15
I would say, now, I you get
22:17
an email and you reply instantly in a
22:19
way that I would never have expected you to do.
22:22
You are on it like I have. There's some stuff
22:24
where I haven't even gotten a chance to like open
22:27
up the email until I see your replies.
22:29
I feel as that you send out more emails
22:31
now, and when
22:34
you are a part of a group email that
22:36
I'm also I've also been on, you
22:39
respond with a little
22:41
more gusto than you have
22:43
in the past, just maybe
22:46
an exclamation point here there,
22:49
definitely faster within
22:51
the day a few hours tops.
22:54
Um, I've noticed that you have been
22:58
replying to emails in a more
23:00
consistent way. I even
23:02
tested you. I saw
23:04
you were heading to the students to record and I send you an
23:06
email and
23:09
it took twenty minutes to get back to me. So
23:12
I'm great at email now, everybody agrees.
23:15
But it turned out that there were downsides
23:17
to my new email obsession. I
23:19
was cheating on my dashes instead of sticking
23:22
to my prescribed three twenty
23:24
minute inbox sessions a day. I was
23:26
glued to my inbox, dealing
23:28
with emails constantly as they came in. If
23:30
I stepped away from a meeting, I was itching
23:32
to get back to my desk to clean up whatever new
23:34
litter was coming in or worse, I
23:36
sat in the meeting clearing emails on my phone.
23:39
Keeping my inbox clear had become something of
23:41
an addiction, and my co workers
23:43
were noticing. One thing that's
23:46
happened is that your zealous
23:49
emailing has kind of been
23:52
eating its way into the rest of your responsibilities
23:56
on those In a meeting, we were talking
23:58
and someone wanted your attention, and you were all, oh,
24:01
I'm sorry, I just had to answer this email.
24:04
That's true. I was answering an email and
24:06
I wasn't listening to what she was saying in the
24:08
meeting. He was right, I
24:10
was getting distracted in meetings by
24:13
my email and that's because by
24:15
the end of the week, I had become
24:17
an inbox zero person. I
24:20
was totally transformed. That
24:22
email flake my colleagues had been complaining
24:24
about she was gone. I
24:27
just love the look of that shiny,
24:29
empty digital space, and I became addicted
24:32
to keeping it that way. I confess
24:34
I even started sneaking in sessions while I was at home
24:36
with my family to do some quick email
24:39
filing and deleting. The
24:41
new me loves email.
24:52
You sound like you really went through a transformation
24:55
to someone who avoided emails to someone who was
24:57
addicted to emails. Would you call
25:00
all the experiment a success? Though, Yeah,
25:03
I would. I did what I set out to do. I
25:05
wiped my inbox constantly, and
25:07
I never left the office with an unaddressed email.
25:10
Would you recommend in box zero to
25:12
other hopeless email cases like yourself.
25:16
I can't unreservedly recommend it.
25:18
It's true that being on top of your email workload
25:20
feels great, and honestly, before
25:23
I took stock of how bad my email habits where
25:25
I didn't realize how much it was making other people's lives
25:27
harder. That I wasn't being responsive. But
25:30
there was no way I could stay on top of
25:32
my emails without looking at my inbox virtually
25:35
all the time, and that took time away
25:37
from doing my real job, which it turns out
25:39
is not professional email checker. With
25:42
so many emails coming in, keeping your inbox
25:44
empty is an uphill battle. And
25:47
it did help to set lots of filters and block
25:49
emails and keep some of that stuff from ever
25:51
making it to my inbox, but it didn't eliminate
25:54
the problem. Yeah,
25:56
so we're back to the original problem of the
25:58
workplace being in dated
26:00
with emails and having this email
26:02
problem. So what's the solution
26:04
to that? Becca? I
26:06
think you and I have to use our platform
26:09
to make a plea to the corporate world. CEOs,
26:13
managers, frontline workers. Please
26:16
please let's all work together to stop sending
26:18
so many emails. Just stop emailing
26:21
when you know a call or chat message or in person
26:23
talk would do the trick. Stop emailing
26:25
just to make it look like you've gotten some work done. And please
26:28
please stop spanning people with mailing lists. It's
26:30
the only way we can manage our workloads.
26:33
And I at least can stop passing
26:35
my coworkers off. That
26:40
is quite the impassioned to
26:43
please, as somebody who also
26:45
has an inundated inbox.
26:47
I would much rather people stop
26:50
emailing me than go on
26:52
the inbox zero journey that you just experienced.
26:55
But seriously, I am. I'm proud of you. You've
26:57
gotten your work email under control. You
27:00
must really feel like a new person. But I'm
27:02
also wondering what about your personal
27:04
email? Have you mastered that too?
27:07
Not even close? Currently on my personal
27:09
Gmail, I have let
27:12
me check stand
27:16
two hundred and forty four unready
27:19
emails. That number
27:21
is stressing me out. You look like you're about
27:24
to die.
27:35
