reply to email in a timely manner

I haven’t been able to completely stick to my goal of responding to emails within 24 hours, but I’ve definitely gotten better to responding to emails quicker. I no longer let email rot in my inbox for weeks at a time, and I’ve gotten better at answering communication from other places, too (mainly Facebook messages).

I think I can consider this goal done.

It took 3 hours (with distractions), but I FINALLY cleared out my inbox. I want to try to start making more quantitative goals, so for this one I am going to say that I want to reply to my emails within 24 hours of receiving them. I think that if I put a time limit on it, I’ll be more likely to stick to my goals. Hopefully it works!

I’m actually pretty good with this, but sometimes I do this thing where I’ll check my email in the morning, be too tired to respond, and then forget about it until days later. My goal is to avoid that. Also, I want to stop avoiding emailing my boss when I don’t have all my work done. Just because it’s not all done doesn’t mean I can stop corresponding with him—I need to remember that!!
