Email Survival Skills: Survival Tips Compatible with Microsoft Outlook 2010 & 2013 (2015)

Stay True to Your Priorities: Carry Navigation Tools

You may not make it back to your starting point unless you carry with you and know how to use navigation tools; a map, compass and/or GPS system.

This graph represents your navigation system or map through email. The next points will discuss these steps.

Tip: ‘Easy – Do it’ means emails you can answer within 5 minutes.

The compass you carry with you is considered a navigation tool, but it has another purpose. A compass points to true north. When it comes to email, the compass represents savvy prioritizing of the work contained in the message. True north means that as you prioritize, you stay true to your commitments and the plans you have made for the day, week and month.
