Dealing With E-mail After Vacation

Awhile back I wrote a post about how to get back on track after time off. One of the things I mentioned was getting back to your regular schedule as soon as possible. While I still think this is a good idea in general, there are times when you simply can’t do that.

Like when you come back to almost 2,000 non-spam e-mails in your inbox.

I had to make a few adjustments this time, coming back from a two week vacation is a bit different than anything I’ve done in quite awhile. I used many of the tips I offered up before, but my biggest work-related hurtle was dealing with my e-mail. For that I took some special steps and I’m happy to say they worked splendidly.
