收件箱 收不到邮件为什么_您的电子邮件收件箱不是您的工作清单

收件箱 收不到邮件为什么

I get a lot of email. We all get a lot of email. I invite readers of my weekly email to reply to me – and they do. We get a lot of email about Perch. I get email about books, speaking engagements, asking me for advice, showing me side projects. I read and try to reply to all of it. Perch support is dealt with in a separate help desk system and dealt with regularly throughout the day, but that leaves me with a fair amount of email that needs dealing with.

我收到很多电子邮件。 我们都收到很多电子邮件。 我邀请我每周的电子邮件的读者答复我，他们也这样做。 我们收到很多有关Perch的电子邮件。 我收到有关书籍的电子邮件，演讲，向我寻求建议，向我展示辅助项目。 我阅读并尝试回答所有问题。 Perch支持在单独的服务台系统中处理，并全天定期处理，但是这给我留下了大量需要处理的电子邮件。

Inbox Zero is not a new concept, but I think sometimes people assume that achieving Inbox Zero means you should have done all the things. I’m not sure what I’d do if I got to a state of having done all the things … find more things, most likely! Inbox Zero is about moving stuff out of your mail inbox and to some other system where you can prioritize the actions hidden in those messages.

收件箱归零不是一个新概念，但我认为有时人们会认为实现“收件箱归零”意味着您应该做所有事情 。 我不确定如果我已经完成了所有事情的状态，该怎么办……找到更多的事情，很有可能！ 收件箱零是关于将内容从邮件收件箱中移出，并移至其他系统，您可以在其中优先考虑隐藏在这些邮件中的操作。

Your email is a terrible place to keep your to do list. Partly because it is likely that those items are linked to other parts of your system – files, things in Evernote, posts on Basecamp. But also because emails sat there feel like they are constantly nagging you to act on them, whatever their priority.

您的电子邮件是保存您的待办事项清单的好地方 。 部分原因是这些项目可能链接到系统的其他部分，例如文件，Evernote中的内容，Basecamp上的帖子。 但是也因为坐在那里的电子邮件使他们觉得自己一直在劝阻您采取行动，无论他们的优先级如何。

我如何处理电子邮件 (How I deal with email)

I use IMAP email hosted over at Tuffmail. I only use Gmail for mailing lists, so while I know there are lots of tools for Gmail productivity, I can’t use them – although feel free to share your favourites in the comments to help other readers.

我使用在Tuffmail托管的IMAP电子邮件。 我仅将Gmail用于邮件列表，因此尽管我知道有很多提高Gmail生产率的工具，但我无法使用它们-尽管可以在评论中分享您的收藏夹以帮助其他读者。

I have a set of daily tasks that pop up in OmniFocus at 5.30am so they are ready for me when I sit down to start my day. The first is to check my calendar, the second is Process Email.

我每天早上5.30在OmniFocus中弹出一组日常任务，因此当我坐下来开始新的一天时，它们已经为我准备好了。 第一个是检查我的日历，第二个是处理电子邮件 。

I know a lot of people would suggest that you don’t check your email first thing as it can sidetrack you. However the point is that I process the email first thing, and it’s a very different job to actually dealing with all of the email.

我知道很多人会建议您不要先检查电子邮件，因为它可能会干扰您。 但是，关键是我首先处理电子邮件，而实际上处理所有电子邮件是非常不同的工作。

There is always a bunch of stuff to delete or just file. I keep an email folder named 1current and into that folder I pop things like tracking information for things I have ordered that I just need to keep until it arrives.

总会有很多东西要删除或只是归档。 我保留了一个名为1current的电子邮件文件夹，并在该文件夹中弹出一些内容，例如跟踪我订购的物品的信息，直到我到达为止。

There are then usually a few things that just need a quick reply to show I’ve seen it. If it takes less than 2 minutes to deal with, I reply there and then and file the email away.

然后通常只有几件事需要快速回复以表明我已经看过。 如果处理时间不到2分钟，我会在那儿回复，然后将电子邮件归档。

Then there are those things that need more time to deal with. They tend to be things like:

还有一些事情需要更多时间来处理。 它们往往是这样的：

• An email from a reader wanting to ask my feedback on something.
• Emails about things that are in progress, one of our contractors with something for me to look at and respond to, or an article back for a second draft.
• Requests to speak at conferences, write articles or some other paid work that I need to think about and decide if I can fit in.

• 读者希望收到我对某事的反馈的电子邮件。
• 发送有关正在进行中的事情的电子邮件，我们的承包商之一，其中有我需要查看和答复的东西，或者发回第二稿的文章。
• 要求在会议上发言，撰写文章或其他我需要考虑并决定自己是否适合的有偿工作。

There are actions associated with all of these and if I start to just plough through them then I could get sidelined from whatever is important that day. Having read the mail and checked nothing is an emergency I add any tasks relating to that email to a project in OmniFocus. The task might just be “reply to Joe Bloggs with some thoughts about his idea of an airbnb for cats” or it might be part of an ongoing project. If the sender would be expecting a response immediately to know when the task will be done, I can then send a quick reply on that before filing the email, flagged as needing a reply.

所有这些都有一些相关的动作，如果我只是开始研究它们，那我可能会从那天重要的事情中退缩。 阅读邮件并没有检查任何内容是紧急情况，我将与该电子邮件有关的所有任务添加到OmniFocus中的项目。 该任务可能只是“回复Joe Bloggs，并提供一些关于他的猫用Airbnb的想法”，或者可能是正在进行的项目的一部分。 如果发件人希望立即得到答复，以知道何时完成任务，那么我可以在提交电子邮件之前对此发送快速答复，标记为需要答复。

In terms of filing I actually have a folder for each ongoing project, however you could use labels in Gmail or organize these any way you like.

在归档方面，我实际上为每个进行中的项目都有一个文件夹，但是您可以在Gmail中使用标签，也可以根据需要组织这些标签。

Most mornings I will send a handful of replies and add around 10 actions to OmniFocus. I can typically do this in the time it takes me to drink my first coffee. My inboxes are then at zero, and I know that no urgent things are missed.

大多数早晨，我将发送少量答复，并向OmniFocus添加大约10个动作。 通常，我可以在我喝第一杯咖啡的时间里做到这一点。 那时我的收件箱为零，我知道不会错过任何紧急事情。

Having this routine then allows me to be less driven by email that comes in during the day. Depending on what I’m working on I may also process email during the day, but I am also happy to scan for genuine urgent stuff, and leave everything else until the next morning’s processing session.

有了这个例程，我就可以减少白天收到的电子邮件的驱动力。 根据我的工作情况，我也可能在白天处理电子邮件，但我也很高兴扫描真正的紧急物品，并将所有其他物品留到第二天早上进行处理。

So that’s how I deal with email.

这就是我处理电子邮件的方式。

I’m going to write a few productivity and getting things done type posts because when I talk about building side projects the number one question is, “how do I find the time?” I stayed away from discussing tools too much in my book, as I think tools and specific techniques are quite personal. However I’ll share what works for me here and in my next post I’ll write about how I use OmniFocus to make sure that those tasks I’ve added to projects get completed.

我要写一些生产力，然后完成一些工作，因为当我谈论建筑项目时，第一个问题是：“我如何找到时间？” 我在书中避免过多讨论工具，因为我认为工具和特定技术非常个人化。 但是，我将在这里分享对我有用的东西，在我的下一篇文章中，我将介绍如何使用OmniFocus确保已添加到项目中的那些任务能够完成。
