@PreschoolMama, Ann – Glad this is useful to you, ladies! I love both your blogs. Ann, I’ll have to check out 43 folders – I’ve heard of the concept, but now you’ve inspired me to actually look into it!

I like these! Especially the "only check three times a day" bit. I am not sure if I can hold off for three times, though. maybe four or five... PreSchool Mama's last blog post..How Many PreSchoolers Could You Take in a Fight?

Thanks Linda. A few days in to this little routine, and the “Reply ASAP” is working like a charm. In fact, I’ve got 11 emails waiting for me as I write this, and I’m hesitant to open them because I know I’ll need to “reply asap.” Funny how that works.

Really like your ideas, especially the one with “Reply ASAP”, I might have to make one like that. I am pretty good at tagging my emails though but hadn’t thought about that one.

Like your blog , very nice!

Hi Cheryl! Maybe we can keep each other accountable, eh? It’s already more challenging than I thought it would be! I mean, the system’s easy, but I find myself drawn to the computer… Why is that?

These sound like some great ideas. I’ve tried at times to do some of them, but never stuck with them very well. I’m going to give it a go this week! Thanks for sharing. ;o)
