The Four D's Of Incoming E-mail

There are four possible responses to any action you are asked to take and they all begin with the letter 'D'. DO IT! If it is a task that takes less than two minutes to complete, do it immediately! You may DELEGATE the work to a more appropriate person. Alternatively you can DEFER it to later and schedule it in your calendar for a specific time. If there is no action needed on your part feel free to DELETE it.
