Do you find yourself set up for a productive day, only to be derailed by your emails?

Checking and replying to emails can eat up so much time - and what’s worse is that the false sense of productivity checking email provides can be very addictive.

The problem of spending way too much time in my inbox has been bugging me for some time, so I was very excited to find out that Michael Bungay Stanier has had similar problems and has been working on solutions.

Michael is a renowned speaker, teacher and author whose books have sold over 1.5 million copies. In fact, his best known book, The Coaching Habit, topped the Wall Street Journal bestseller list with Brenè Brown calling it “a classic”. He was named #1 Thought Leader in Coaching by Thinkers50, and has been featured in top publications like Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Fast Company.

Michael is clearly very busy and can’t afford to waste time on emails, yet he still finds himself procrastinating with them.

But he has a lot of strategies and tricks that we might be able to use.

Michael shares:

  • Why we get stuck in the cycle of emails even when we know we shouldn’t
  • The techniques and programs we can use to reduce email use
  • Why you might need to use incentives and consequences to enforce your email reduction strategies.
