Revealed! How I Personally Handle My Email Inbox

My clients usually list "managing email" as their number one distraction or barrier to productivity on a day-to-day basis!
You may think that me, being a Certified Professional Organizer®, I would have an elaborate system of virtual file folders to sort and archive all of my email.
But, my system for processing the daily flood of emails is fairly simple and I am ready to share!
This system won't work for everyone but for me, and most of my one-to-one clients it works just fine. After they've been using this method for a few weeks, I check in with them. When I follow-up my clients usually say things like: "I feel totally in control and on top of my email inbox now." They claim that they feel an overall clamminess and focus throughout their workday. They also feel unleashed from their email checking addiction.

But, I have been known to upset some people in my live workshops with these suggestions. They just can't seem to embrace the fact that email was never meant to be an urgent form of communication and they feel the need to constantly check their email (if you are interested on this topic there is more on my blog post called: "Are You A Insecurity Work Addict?") and they tend to have their email program open all day will all the bells, whistles and pop-up notifications jolting them out of focus.
Now, I know some jobs require that you respond to email all day and that is in fact in your job description. Or, you may have a job in finance or real estate where the response time or the time where you would need to take action on an email is accelerated. But, for most of us - no one is going to die or loose any revenue from our businesses if we don't instantly respond to email. If a matter is that urgent, you'd probably receive a phone call about it anyway, right?
So, here is how I personally set up my email and how I process it:

Tips for Keeping Your Blog Content Fresh

Keeping your blog up-to-date with relevant content can be very demanding, especially if you don't have the time to do your research. Almost all small businesses as well as huge corporations invest in keeping an active blog as a form of marketing strategy. And with online advertisements booming the way it is, business blogs have become an integral part of your business success.
However, keeping a good quality business blog requires strategic thinking, reader engagement skills and of course relevance. It doesn't matter whether you run a plumbing business, a B2B office supplies business or just an online jewelry store, as long as you are selling a product or service, a business blog can be very instrumental in yielding more business.

Here are some strategies that can help you in keeping your blog updated, relevant and engaging:
1. Research
Spend some time doing research about what people are interested in and what the trending topics at the moment are. You can look for some current events that may be going on or news about new laws or advancements in your particular industry.
But don't simply stick to your field of business as it can get very monotonous and boring. Try to engage your audience with other events or information and try to link it back to how your business can be of help or relevance.
For instance, if you run a furniture store, then the latest trends in interior designs or even trending wallpapers can be used as a way of marketing your business in an effective and interesting way.
2. Schedule

Where Android Is Better Than iOS

I'm not really going to say Android is better Than iOS. Android is better for some things and for some people. Why I like it better: file system, widgets, customization, wider choice in phones, custom ROMs, live wallpapers, apps can work together/share easier, and better multitasking with screenshots. There is more but here are the main ones for me.
1. Defaults and Intents
Intents-share and import from any app that can give the right data.
Defaults-I have my own set of apps I want to use for various tasks and I don't have to manually input the data for them to perform actions (like opening a URL).

These make using the OS so nice, it is an intelligent, smart system that feels just right. It feels so right that it makes iOS seemed clunky to use going back to it, for me.
2. Applications can be just as good as stock applications. On iOS, Apple's built in applications have a privileged position on the system, they have more capability that third party apps cannot take advantage of and you are not given the option to swap those stock applications out.
3. Notifications - Easily swappable one by one or one tap to dismiss all. Expandable notifications allow more information be displayed on the screen and saves space. Some are even actionable. They're smarter, they're more intuitive and they're more useful. And compared with IOS it is also less clunky to manage (specifically removing them). I feel iOS is limited to only working with apps, sure there is an app for everything but you have to actually go inside to access the information. Something great about android could be as big as the notification system which is leagues ahead of anything else or something as small as having individual native apps updated without having to wait for the next big update.

Facebook for Your Business: Why You Should Create a Facebook Page

Should you start using Facebook for your business promotion needs? The answer is pretty much a no-brainer, especially if your business is largely based online. And if you don't have a website but feel the need to create an online presence for your company, a Facebook page is the perfect alternative.
Let's talk a little bit about the benefits your company or website will enjoy when you use Facebook for your business. First of all, since Facebook is free to use, you don't have to invest in a domain name and web hosting if you don't want to. Some companies use their Facebook page solely for the purpose of acting as their official website. Some even employ Facebook add-ons to add full-page graphics to their Facebook walls.

These are often click-able, and can direct viewers to a special promotion on your website or to a product you are selling.
Next, Facebook offers probably the best way to find out who likes your company. With just a simple click of the "Like" button, your fans can subscribe to all of your updates, post comments on your statuses, write on your Facebook wall and more. The more interaction you allow on your page (which can be edited in the page settings area), the more you'll encourage your followers to pay attention to what you say when you post an update.

The effect is dramatic and instant. It lets you bring to your guests and family the hot, lazy days at the beach and all the fond memories that come with it.
Sea Life
Equally popular among nautical wallpaper are themes of sea life.

Sea life patterns provide a calming effect, one that delivers more subtle reminders of our beach memories.

Beach

But what better to provoke memories of the beach than the beach itself? One of the most common nautical wallpaper themes today is the beach. This can be illustrated in large, high-resolution murals of serene, tropical scenes. Or it can be done in more traditional ways, with painted scenes of daily life in small beach towns or colorful sunsets over the ocean. However it is done, the desired effect is to produce thoughts and memories of beach life so of course images of the beach often work best.

Whatever nautical wallpaper theme you choose, your family and guests will be treated to one of the most relaxing atmospheres available in modern decor. The best way to choose which theme is right for your home is to look through the available styles. Choose what you like best. New wallpaper can often be matched to existing decor, but if you find things clashing updating a few accessories often does the trick. Add new throw pillows or an area rug with colors that match your new wallpaper and you will be amazed at how the room comes together. Good luck with your nautical wallpaper project!
