Do you feel you’re getting buried by notifications? Are you tired of missing important notices or forgetting who you were responding to next?

If you’re getting overwhelmed by digital noise and need a better way to handle your notifications, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

My useful “one touch rule” for all notifications
The three categories I use that save time and energy
Some examples on how this organization system can be applied offline

Today we’re talking about how I manage notifications across many devices and even physical mail. I also include some information on an upcoming (free) Leverage and Growth Summit summit where I’ll be speaking as well as recommendations for how to clean up your inbox.

In this episode, I detail my “one touch rule” and the three categories I use for every notification I get and how it helps me keep things under control. With this technique you’ll stop wasting double the time on notifications you’ve already seen and not miss something important. You will check your email, voicemail, texts, and social media notifications much less frequently.

“I have adopted some of the best tips that I’ve heard around into a single system.”- Marjorie Stiegler

Does your workplace expect you to always be available via email whether night, weekend, holiday, or ‘normal business hours’? Have you been asked to limit your sending of email to within certain hours? If you get an ‘urgent’ email that’s sent outside of your normal hours, how do you handle it?

If you’re caught up on either side of this great email boundaries debate, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

The recent push to limit email ‘sending hours’
What email sending, checking, and replying communicates about boundaries
How to be sure your intentions are understood and your boundaries are firm, while working at times that work for you

Today we’re talking about the great email debate – should you or should you not send an email outside of “standard” working hours (whatever that means, anyway)?

In this episode, we’ll discuss what “off hours” look like to you, the importance of email boundaries, and whether delaying an email send time is actually helpful.
