First up, establish one or two regular blocks of time each day to read and answer emails. Start with the first email that came in after you signed out the last time and work your way up to the latest message you received. Prioritise your emails and answer only the most important, while making time in your diary to follow up on the others. Make sure you save and review your most important messages before clicking ‘send’ and remember it’s imperative you treat each work related email as potential public information.
