Course Description

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the 1000's of emails that you get every year? Never get to the things that you really want to because it eats your agenda? That you'll never get to the bottom of your inbox? And that even if you did, it would take so long that it wouldn't be worth it?

Well, there are some key things that you can do so that your inbox feels a lot more manageable in less than an hour - some people have managed it in less than 30 minutes!

This course, which will take you less than an hour to complete, and cost you less than a months worth of coffees, will help you think about and use email in a different way, reducing your stress and reclaiming your time.
