Posted Nov 03, 2008 Jump into the Social Media to Carry Your Story Forward and Win in the Marketplace by Nancy Juetten
Nancy, as a recent graduate of your PubliciTea in Portland, OR I've begun implementing several ideas I gained from you - for me and for my clients.
Your advice makes perfect sense, your strategies obviously work for many, many companies. Your examples inspire.
The task of DIY Publicity can seem daunting for small business owners and I really appreciate the way you break it down into manageable bites. You ask the right questions to get us moving.
Your article is extremely helpful. Timely, relevant and compelling. :) Just like you say to do!

Posted Oct 03, 2008 How To Go From 100 Emails In Your Inbox to 20 by Tia Ribary
These are great additional ideas and solutions to other common (or not-so-common) problems. Thank you so much for sharing!
Jody, I like your comment about not being disciplined enough to only check one folder at a time. That is a common problem and it really comes down to just that...discipline. Any system, no matter how great, is only as good as we use it.
A couple additional hints:
You can use a timer to help yourself stay on track when needing to focus on one thing. Say you're only going to deal with this piece of business, or this folder, for 20 minutes. Set the timer and it can help you stay focused.
I HIGHLY recommend unsubscribing from lists. We cannot keep our email address away from all the junk senders, but we can unsubscribe from many when they find us. Do it right away (or better yet, have your assistant do it for you), and all that junk won't be taking precious minutes from your day.
Keep those comments coming. I love the additional ideas! And, I appreciate you all sharing!

Posted Sep 24, 2008 How To Go From 100 Emails In Your Inbox to 20 by Tia Ribary
Hi Pamela, great question! The basics of how you organize your inbox still apply. I'm not a MAC user so I can't offer specific software suggestions. However, most mail programs allow for folders and/or subfolders and filters at the very least. The article principals should still work for you, and you can use the help menu to discover that particular software's tools.
If you need help implementing these ideas, or if you'd like help customized for your work before you switch to Mail, I'm available for a consult. And, of course, I'm glad to answer any quick questions here.
Good luck and thank you!

I have found the flags to be one of the MOST utilized options by my clients as well. I hope it works for each of you! I use them myself and have found them very useful.

Hi Andrew,
I'm not sure what program you are using but I can give you an example from Outlook. If you go to the File menu and choose Archive, you can actually set the date you'd like the archive to start from.
Another, and maybe better option, is if you right click on a folder and choose Properties, go to the Auto Archive tab and choose "Do not archive this folder". That should keep your records out of the archives. Let me know if this helps!

Christian, thank you for clearning up a few questions I've had about Twitter. I was wondering why everyone was all a twitter and it's much more clear. I'm thinking it could be very useful for some clients, and I will bring it up with them.
Thank you!
