cynicwithasmile i'd like to make myself believe this planet Earth turns slowly
at first a failure when it came to emails i now can say i have become the email queen. it sounds crazy and it probably but you can try to check your email every 2-3 days, if you dont have time to do make a day once a week were you set time to go through your email. its basically my main method of communication and more important than the one in front of my house, sad but i am now an email addict and send emails about everything, notfying everyone
its not that hard once you put an effort towards it just be prepared to get addicted

I’ve been doing well with this one, actually. The only things I have in my inbox are impersonal correspondences such as newsletters.

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.

Utter Failure

Gosh, I am so bad at this one. I don’t know what my problem is. I’m at the computer all freaking day, but I can’t take two minutes to respond to an email? Actually, if it’s just a light email, I’ll write back relatively quickly. But if it’s a “haven’t talked to you in ages, what are you up to” email, then it takes me forever to respond. Weird, huh?

I have greatly improved in this area. Of course I had to cut back on my total activity. The reward is that I am getting more mail. Yippee!I love it!

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 pretty good at keeping my inbox clean but every now and then I get an e-mail and one of the kids starts crying for something or falls and I go take care of them and forget, then keep putting it off until it’s been months and I still haven’t gotten back to someone… in fact i think a friend of mine is still waiting after e-mailing me a month ago… perhaps I need to get off of 43 things and go e-mail them.

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!!

I have actually been doing quite well with this one. It’s almost becoming a habit.

Oh well that’s the price I have to pay for such good friends as I’ve met at Cyberfriends. The response was amazing. And it is a “safe” site. I had a bad experience with another site that seemed innocent but was not…if you get my drift. I suggest it to anyone. I’ve found good people who even encourage my 43 things goals.
