I’ve always said that running the shop was like playing space invaders and one day I’d be overrun by the constant bombardment of emails (on top of everything else) the way I never quite got to the end of space invaders once those men started off at the bottom. That day has come. Losing my internet connection for a few days and hotmail playing up hasn’t helped but really it is clear that there isn’t even time most days to prioritise emails and deal with the most important. I suspect other shops have reached this point some time ago.
You’ve probably been told this already, but Gmail has a setting that helps prioritise your emails. I use it for personal and business and it does a pretty good job.
… Doesn’t help you with Space Invaders though.
Hoping to switch to Gmail this weekend. Already use it for other things but only recently has hotmail become such a problem adding to the issue of so many emails.
