I try to every day but always by the CoB on Friday.
Never - my work inbox currently has over 2,000 read messages in it (all dealt with appropriately). Probably wrong of me but there are so many categories of things I handle and different ways I could possibly file them, it's just easier to leave them where they land. I search for old messages 50 times a day or more to use as references.I mean deleted, filed or actioned.
A big plate of Sofa Pillows would be wonderful, wouldn't it?Is there a prize if I do?

As soon as I read it and don't need to keep it, it is deleted and trash folder is emptied multiple times a day (both at home and work). There is a lot of unnecessary chatter on work email and those that don't involve me are deleted immediately (such as "whoever called Sally, please call her back, she didn't get your name, etc). IT told us we are supposed to keep 6 months of emails. I laughed at them and told them no way is that going to happen on my computer.I mean deleted, filed or actioned.
I should mention we also have SLACK for internal communications, and that many public agencies now communicate official information through Twitter or Facebook. We are supposed to be on top of all of those. In a perfect world, any communication on any of those platforms would be filed or actioned as soon as it came in, or within a few minutes.I mean deleted, filed or actioned.
What else do you get done in a typical shift? 8 hours is only 480 minutes. I recieve on average about 30 a day and reading them, researching the situation and planning an action takes several minutes each and that doesn't include actually answering them and/or implementing the necessary action. It takes a good chunk of my day and anything non-urgent gets worked in when I am able.At work, we are expected to read e-mails almost as soon as they come in. So if I am doing my job my Inbox is always at ZERO (assuming you mean read, not deleted) But that may be unique to my industry where everything is extremely time sensitive. Typical day that would be 300 to 400 e-mails
The folks I feel for are Fire Dispatchers who answer 911 calls. Not e-mail, but their goal is to get emergency crews on scene in 6 to 8 minutes of a call coming in. In their case, a delay could be life or death. So I have it easy.,
Close of business.Try as I might, I can’t figure out what CoB stands for. Can I have a hint?
