NLJ this week: When the inbox gets you down

Under pressure? Drowning in emails? In this week’s NLJ, LawCare’s Elizabeth Rimmer offers advice on tackling the tyranny of the inbox

Rimmer suggests, for example, exercising the two-minute rule: ‘If an email can be responded to in two minutes or less, handle it immediately. This practice… helps prevent minor tasks from accumulating and becoming overwhelming.’

Employers and managers can also play a role, by encouraging good email habits within the workplace (for example, avoiding unnecessary ‘reply all’ messages) in order to minimise distractions.

LawCare provides free, confidential help on stress, addiction and mental health matters to legal professionals and their families.
