An Adobe study shows that we spend an average of 20 weeks a year on emails. WOW! that is a lot!
How many emails do you have in your inbox? How many folders do you have? How hard is it to find an important email? Not so long ago, I had thousands of emails in my inbox and thousands more sorted in hundreds of folders. I was spending so much time reading and re-reading email, but I was never quite done with them. Then I learned this simple hack that has saved my email sanity!
In today's podcast, I share a simple solution to stop the email madness and get back 4 or more weeks every year!

Continuing on the question of "How do I motivate my team to reach their goals?"
First, it is important to be crystal clear on the company objectives so that you can communicate those to your team. Once your company objectives are clear, work with your team to set and agree on team goals.
Second, this has been around for a long time, but make sure your goals are SMART.
Third, create milestones to create accountability.
This process puts your team in control of outcomes, it is proactive and puts the corporate objectives in action at the team level.
