Follow the SIMPLE Four D's or Email Sanity.......
Delete it – Pretty Simple (but sometimes its ok to just push delete)
Do it – Ask yourself, what action do you need to take, and can it be done in 2 minutes…….if so, then do it!
Delegate it – If you cannot delete or do it in 2 minutes, can you forward to someone in your team to handle it……if so, delegate it.
Defer it – If you can’t do the above, and this is something ONLY YOU can deal with, but need the time (more than 2 minutes) to complete the task properly, then defer it to your calendar for action at the right time.

The article provides an intriguing perspective on email management, particularly within the context of project management. The SIMPLE Four D's framework is a practical approach, yet it raises questions about how well we use tools at our disposal.
