Product Creation Advice – The Email Overload Experiment

Are you in Email Overload? You know what I mean… spending a couple of hours a day wading through your inbox, trying to get through to the important emails and finding yourself going down all kinds of “rabbit holes”, finding time ticking away that should have been focused on other things, like product creation, answering student questions and spending quality time with family?
After coming back from the holidays, my first two weeks of 2010 were spent feeling like this so I decided to conduct…

The Email Overload Experiment

Let me know what you think and if this inspires you to outsource your inbox to a fabulous VA or just to get radical and stop the reactivity! So you can focus on growng your business, taking care of yourself and your family!

With this experiment, I want to see how it feels to stay completely away from email, one of my VAs Verna will be adding to our “virtual office space” the things I should look at while she responds to and sets up interview requests, guides students to the forums in Membership areas where I’ll be 3 times a week to answer their specific questions and I communicate with people just via social media marketing tools like Twitter and Facebook… It was scary to give up this much control, but I think I’ve gained several hours a day to create more products and be able to think!

What do you think of the video?

Our new fabulous intern Clayton Harlan manned one of the video cameras for this video… he looked over my shoulder and is learning how to do all this video stuff like the cool intro with the music and the two camera angles!

Sounds like a great experiment. Email can be very useful but also a black hole where time gets lost. I’m looking forward to hearing about your experience in delegating it. We all look for a formula to add hours to our day. Maybe this is it?

So many hours on emails, it sounds like a fabulous idea!
My home based business keeps me on my toes with 5 different inboxes and hundreds of clients globally, so it would be a refreshing for me to have a couple of hours extra a day to focus on Webinars and Multi-media projects.
Let’s see who I can trust enough to speak for me….is there a service you would recommend?
