????3. 在正確的時間發(fā)送電子郵件,。

????根據(jù)Baydin的分析，普通電子郵件用戶每天會寫40條信息,，但如果沒人讀這些信息,，它們就沒有任何作用。比如，摩爾發(fā)現(xiàn),，早上六點鐘發(fā)送的信息與之后任何時間發(fā)送的信息相比,，被打開的幾率更高。另外,，午飯后也是閱讀信息的一個小高潮期,。他說：“如果你想請求某人做某事，在對方血糖升高之后,，你便越有可能實現(xiàn)自己的目的,。”

????4. 不要過于頻繁查看電子郵件,。

????《18分鐘法則：心無旁騖,，做正確的事》（ 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done）一書的作者彼得?布雷格曼認(rèn)為，僅僅經(jīng)過一代人,，處理電子郵件的時間便從零增長到占個人時間的28%,，其中是有原因的。他說：“因為電子郵件造成一種有效工作的假象,，所以特別容易讓人分心,。”比如,，你本應(yīng)該專心做提案,，但你不想這么做。于是,，你跑去查看自己的收件箱,。他說：“如果看電視不被懲罰，你或許也會去看電視,，而不是寫提案?？墒悄憧床涣穗娨?，于是你就跑去查看電子郵件了?！?/p>

????有更好的解決方法嗎,？有，那就是分批處理法,。布雷格曼每天查看三次電子郵件,，并且發(fā)現(xiàn)這種方式可以每周節(jié)省多個小時。他說：“從沒人抱怨沒有及時收到回信,?！比绻刻觳榭慈尾贿m合，可以嘗試每一個小時查看一次，集中精力工作40分鐘,，然后用20分鐘處理收件箱,。如此一來，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的工作效率將會大大提高,。

????3. Send email at the right time.

????According to Baydin's analysis, the average email user writes 40 messages a day, but there's no point writing these emails if they don't get read. A message sent at 6 a.m. is more likely to be opened than one sent later in the day, Moore reports, though there's also a small bump in reading after lunch. "If you need to ask someone to do something, you're more likely to get what you want after their blood sugar is up," he says.

????4. Don't check email so often.

????Peter Bregman, author of 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done, notes that there's a reason email management has grown from zero hours per week to 28% of a person's time in a generation. "Email is such a seductress in terms of distraction because it poses as valid work," he says. You're supposed to be working on a proposal, but you don't feel like working on the proposal, so you check your inbox. "If you could get away with watching TV, you probably would instead of writing that proposal, but you probably can't, so instead you check email," he says.

????A better solution? Batch process. Bregman checks three times per day, and finds this saves him many hours per week. "No one's ever complained they haven't gotten an email back fast enough," he says. If three checks per day won't work for you, try checking just once an hour instead, doing 40 minutes of focused work, then 20 minutes of inbox management. Chances are, you'll get a lot more done.
