Speak of the Devil - He's on God's Payroll
Does anybody recall the old cartoon in which the wolf and the sheepdog greet each other with "Mornin', Sam." and "Mornin, Ralph," punched a clock and spent the remainder of the show trying to destroy each other? Remember? The wolf attempts to steal the sheepdog's dumb, grazing, none-the-wiser, completely oblivious, sheep and, by the end, the pair pf adversaries "clock-out" and retire for the evening, their job's done until the next episode."Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have
Over the past 10 years email has become one of the most utilised means of communication, in the office and the private. It is a fantastic way of corresponding, because you do not have to wait for the post to be collected and delivered and in many cases it's even better than the telephone, because you do not have to wait for the other person to be at their phone at the very same time.Does anybody recall the old cartoon in which the wolf and the sheepdog greet each other with "Mornin', Sam." and "Mornin, Ralph," punched a clock and spent the remainder of the show trying to destroy each other?

Therefore it is quiet logical that the amount of emails in the past few years has increased dramatically. According to statistics by the Radicati Group from the first quarter of 2006 the number of emails sent per day to be around 170 billion - thereof 70% are spam or viruses!
This relentless bombardment of one email after another on a day-to-day basis results in distraction, stress, addiction and over all in reduced productivity at the workplace. Each new email brings you off focus and away from your important projects and tasks. This problem does not only effect large organisations where the normal workforce gets between 100 and 250 emails a day. All the professional people, business owner and self employed with 50 emails per day are facing the same problems. The cost for the whole Australian economy in lost productivity is far beyond 10 billion dollar.

Bored by your Job? Consider Developing a Portfolio Career
Very few of us are born knowing what we want to be when we grow up. Often we end up in a job seemingly by chance, doing what someone else – a teacher or parent - thinks we would be good at. Or we do something because we find it easy and drift from school to college, taking our best subject and then whatever job most graduates in that discipline opt for, or the first job we are offered.Even when we make more conscious career choices, dissatisfaction can creep in after a year or two. The problem is that we are unique individuals, with a huge variety of skills, preferences

Employees, Get Used to Working under Surveillance
Let's face it. Monitoring employees' e-mail, tracking their Internet use, logging everything done at keyboards has become the norm in Corporate America.With computer monitoring software so cheap and easy-to-apply it's no wonder that workplace surveillance becomes more and more widespread.Here are some figures from the 2005 Electronic Monitoring & Surveillance Survey made by American Management Association and the consulting firm ePolicy Institute:76% of companies monitor websites their employees visit, and 65% use software to block connections to certain we

Why Aren't You in the Yellow Pages?
The Yellow Pages has been around for over 100 years, making it one of the oldest and most used media in the world. Yet there are many businesses that choose not to advertise. So what’s your excuse?There’s actually only three reasons:You are too cheap.You think your business won’t benefit.You actually never thought about it.Let’s examine each one. To begin with, have you ever had a Yellow Page representative give you all the rates, or did you just assume that they’re too expensive? Maybe you figured that only a full page

Managing Change - Leading for a Change
Leadership is a lost art especially when it comes to leading organizational change. Go on Amazon and there are a ton of books written about leadership. I could write one maybe ‘Everything I know about leadership I learned in the Marine Corps in Vietnam’. It’s true! And nothing changes faster than the battlefield. But leaders today don’t get it. They think leadership is a position. I’m in charge so you follow. It’s not happening, especially during times of change. I’ve learned a few things that have worked and a few that don’t in my thirty plus years leading people. The one thin

If you want to work proactively on your business and on your projects you must change your habits. Otherwise you end up doing the real work after hours and spending the day only to respond to seemingly urgent but not really important messages.
One of the main reasons for this email addiction is the lack of training. When emails started to sneak into our lives about ten years ago it was so easy to send and receive an email. So literally nobody took the time to learn the basics of those programs. During the years this hasn't changed, but the environment has changed dramatically (see above) and the software tools are much more powerful and sophisticated today.
Three important tips to save you time
Here are three tips you can apply today to detach yourself from your inbox and give the control over your messages back to you
1. Use rules and folders. .
First you create a folder with the person or projects name on it. Then you simply make a right click on the actual message, and chose "create rule". Here you decide which folder you want this and all following emails to go into. You see, a Rule is really just the direction you want your incoming message to go. It by-passes the Inbox and arrives straight into the folder. The bold title and the number in brackets shows you how many unread items you have in each folder.
2. Turn on manually send and receive
