How to Get an Empty Emails Inbox

Ever get swamped in emails? Here is some great advice from Rosie Cottis:

Having an empty inbox feels great and can save you tons of time. Since I did this I'm realising how much time I spent just looking at the titles of all the 'pending' emails in my inbox. Now I don't have that distraction I have a lot more time for making money. It's amazing!

I started at a site called 43 Folders. This is at http://www.43folders.com/izero but there is tons to read there so to save you time, I will reveal how to do this quickly, the way I did.

First, create some new folders in your email inbox. These are in two sections:

(a) Folders for emails requiring action
1-Soonest (urgent, you want to take action today).
2-Later (action required sometime this week or this month).
3-Training (e.g. link to that 55 minute video on Twitter that you want to watch but never seem to find the time).

These 3 should be at the top of your list of folders so include the numbers in the folder names.

(b) Folders for filing (emails you have dealt with, or not requiring action but worth keeping)
- Useful information (e.g. a link to an interesting article that you have read and might want to read again ... if you didn't read the article yet it goes in Training)
- Purchases (emails confirming purchases or containing information about something you purchased, updates for software that you own, etc)
- Wanted (promotions for things you don't need to get right now, but they look good and you might want them sometime)
- Websites (emails from your hosting company or domain registrar containing important information about your sites).

You will also probably want folders for keeping email from certain people, membership sites, or on certain topics.

After you have the folders set up, go through your inbox sorting your emails. Use the unsubscribe button for people you don't want to hear from again. Delete anything that you don't need to keep and sort the others for action or file them. You will need to take a quick look at some of them but don't click any links.

Continue until there is not one single email in your inbox, then take action on the emails in the 'Soonest' folder. Remember this folder was only for things that need action TODAY.

HOW TO KEEP IT EMPTY
Schedule time, two or three times each day, when you deal with email. During that time, look first at your new mail and sort it so that the inbox is empty. Then open up your 'Soonest' folder and deal with them all or as many as you have time for, so that they can be deleted or filed. Then move on to 'Later' or 'Training' - you can pick.

Each email requiring action will be opened a maximum of two times: once to sort it and once to deal with it. Emails not requiring action are read and either deleted or filed immediately.

IT WORKS!
I had about 250 'pending' emails in my inbox when I did this ... and I was already dealing with the urgent ones and filing or deleting everything I could. I now have about 40 in 'Training' and 10 in 'Later'. The rest are filed or gone.

The good news is that the system *does* work. Unlike previous times when I have cleared my inbox, now it is emptied every time I look at my email. Sometimes it's STILL empty when I look at it. It's spooky!

What Is Good About the Economic Crisis?

Article by Masha Malka.

I found it very interesting that in the last few days most of the people I came across are EXCITED about the economic “crisis”! One of my friends even made a toast to it during the New Year celebration and everyone at the table cheered and agreed.

Those people who are excited about the current economic status in the world as well as their own (even if they are out of work and have $1 to their name), are the people who will have an amazing year, attracting opportunities, money, great relationships and happiness… and if they don’t, they will still be happy and excited about their life!

Why?

Because it is not what happens to us that determines how we feel. How you feel has NOTHING to do with the current economic status or what is going on in your personal life; the way others treat you or what happens to you.

How you feel has to do with how YOU treat yourself – how you interpret what happens to you and the thoughts that you are thinking or a regular basis. YOU are the one who attaches meaning to everything that happens in your life and the world, creating emotions that not only determine how you feel on a regular basis but also manifest experiences into your life again and again and again.

Stop for a second and think about the quality of your life right now. What are you thinking? What are you manifesting?

There are lots and lots of opportunities out there. And it is not just about making more money, it is about making more money doing what you love; feeling great about yourself and what you do; feeling like you make a difference in your life and the life of others.

Action
No matter how negative a particular situation might appear to you, ask yourself, “What is good about it?” “How can I use it to my advantage?” “How does it help me understand who I am and what I want?”

If the circumstances you are in do not make you happy, get clear about what will make you happy and do something every day that will bring you closer to your new reality.

George Bernard Shaw wisely said, “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.”

10 Essentials for Success

Publisher and Editorial Director of SUCCESS magazine, Darren Hardy, offers the following advice on how to make 2009 your best year ever:

1. Decide to be Successful – Success is not a dream, hope or fantasy; it is a decision. Make the decision to change, improve and act on your ambitions.

2. Design your Best Year Yet – As an architect would design a skyscraper, write out the goals, plans and actions it will take to achieve the life you want to live.

3. Identify Your Passion - What are your unique interests, talents and gifts? Passion attracts success. Find what you love to do - you will never “work” again.

4. Program Yourself for Success – You will see, perceive, expect and create what you think about. To program your mind for success – read watch and listen to materials that will support your success.

5. Surround Yourself with Success - You are the combined average of the five people you hang around the most. Surround yourself with healthy, success-minded achievers.

6. Model Success - The best way to learn to be successful at anything is to find someone who is where you want to be and model their success habits.

7. Master the Fundamentals – Don’t complicate it. About a half a dozen things make up 90%+ of what it takes to be successful at anything. Keep it simple.

8. Get Fit - The mind cannot achieve what the body cannot perform. Your family, friends and career and future depend on your good health. Make it priority No. 1.

9. Remember What’s Important – At the end of the journey what will have mattered most will be your relationships – the people you love and those that love you. Make sure they are on your goal list.

10. Make a Difference – What do you want your life’s legacy to be? You have the power to make a positive difference – to a single person, a neighborhood, a community, a nation, the world. Realize that power in 2009.

Problems Are A Sign of Life

If you don't have any problems, then you are probably dead. Instead of focussing on problems as something negative, consider the challenge of creating better problems.

"The secret is not to solve all our problems; rather it’s to learn to see them as gifts - an opportunity to learn, grow and give more to those around us. After all, it’s how we deal with our problems that ultimately determines the quality of our lives. Remember perception is power. Sometimes our so-called “problems” turn out to be the greatest blessings of our lives." - Anthony Robbins

Out with old excuses. In with new goals. UPW takes you there.

Procrastination Can Rob You of Your Life's Achievements

Which is truer of you?
"Why put off till tomorrow what can be done today?"
or
"Why do today what can be left till tomorrow?"

"Procrastination . . . is the thief of our self-respect. It nags us and spoils our fun. It deprives us of the fullest realization of our ambitions and hopes."
- Thomas S. Monson

You know what happens when you keep putting things off, or leave them to the last minute? They either don't get done or something happens at the last minute to prevent you from doing whatever it is and then it becomes a problem. Like missing the deadline to submit a tax return. Or completing a report and then flu stops you from thinking straight. Or leaving home late and missing a flight.

Wouldn't you feel better in yourself if you actually did something ahead of time, leaving you without that nagging feeling?

Is one of your new year resolutions to make a positive change in some way? Have you decided to join a gym? Lose weight? Stop smoking? Clear out the clutter in the spare room? Start a new hobby? Overcome a fear? Adopt better time management skills?

Good, but where will you be one week from now...two weeks from now...a month from now...if you rely on your own willpower? Isn't that what you have always done? "If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got."

Using hypnosis to overcome your procrastination can really make a huge difference in your life. Instead of forcing yourself to do something, you can relax deeply, both mentally and physically, and just allow the positive suggestions contained in a hypnosis session to gently re-programme your mind to wanting to achieve what has been nagging you.

Do it now! is an audio hypnosis session which uses the power of hypnosis to directly access your unconscious mind.

You need to make a conscious decision to listen to Do it now! but then you can sit back and let your unconscious mind engage with what it does best - shaping your future. You don't have to work out how to change what you do, as powerful hypnotic suggestions activate the appropriate emotional triggers that will propel you into action.

I Do the Very Best I Know How

"I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything."

Remembering Perfection – Everyday Inspiration for Living your Spirituality

I met Jessica Johnson at a Christopher Howard training course in July 2008. Today I received an email to say she has published a book.

Book: Remembering Perfection – Everyday Inspiration for Living your Spirituality Wednesday, 03 December 2008

Remembering Perfection is focused on how to live in the world with a spiritual focus, so that it is not something separate from our everyday lives. Written with great honesty and humour it is designed to encourage those who feel like giving up, who intellectually know the ideas but cannot seem to make them work in their life. This book comes with the voice of experience, a feeling that the principles contained within are not just theory, but have been put into practice and seen to succeed. Full of practical tips, Remembering Perfection brings the ideas to life and shows you how each and every day we can joyously take the steps towards living a life with love, veracity and truth.

The excerpt comes from the chapter Being Real – Jessica chose it through the time honoured oracle method – think of what you want to know or do and open the book! With all the busy-ness in the world (and bus-i-ness) in the world it felt just right. Enjoy!
”Living life spiritually – applied spirituality – is about being practical, being honest with yourself at all times. How often have you found yourself in this type of situation; a dozen projects to finish, not enough time and two other people wanting your time too? We end up in people-pleasing mode rather than being-real mode. How can we change this? How can we do the tasks in our day, achieve what we want and not get into overwhelm?

Approach everything you do with an attitude of being real. To learn that we are loved for who we are, we have to take the risk of consciously breaking the stressed achiever’s pattern of behaviour. When setting priorities, be real with them. Look at the practicalities of the situation. Learn to say no, both to yourself, ‘No, I won’t give into the habit of pleasing others in detriment to myself’. And, ‘No’ to others who push you beyond what is humanly and humanely possible. If we take this level of responsibility we cannot blame others if we feel overwhelmed.

To help you start this process, look at all the tasks that are creating the feeling of overwhelm and list them in order of importance. Now ask yourself, what can be dropped until a later date? What can have a lesser amount of time allotted to it? What has to be done now? If you take a step back and look you will see a pattern of how you create this overwhelm, both in the workplace and in your personal life. Not only could you prioritise yourself out of it, but also you could stop it happening in the first place. Overwhelm is created in our lives when we are so focused on what has to happen in the future that we feel unable to take one step forward. By bringing our focus back to now, prioritising now, overwhelm decreases magically.

Most importantly, do the tasks to the best of your ability, but remember that it is part of the play; God’s play, and enjoy it. Stop trying to get life done, that’s not being real. Learn to enjoy whatever the task is before you, rather than getting it done so you can move on. We wish life away like that, and lose the gift of the present moment. We can realise our divinity in any moment in any task whatever our like or dislike of it. If you are totally focused on the end of the journey you will forget to enjoy the view along the way.”


To buy the book you can go to Jessica's website . For the first 30 copies bought you get a signed copy and if you are buying it for someone else (Christmas pressies?) just let her know and she will personalise it for them. Just click the Add instructions to the Seller link on the Paypal payment page and text box will appear. Once those copies are sold the link on her site will be forwarded to the publisher's site for direct mailout from them.
