Managing Multiple Messaging Channels

(Photo credit @mathyaskurmann)

  1. Write down ALL the various ways that you receive messages (think email, Slack, text, FB Messenger, LinkedIn InMail, Instagram DMs, etc). Recognize that you are choosing to take in messages from multiple platforms, and decide if you want to remove any of them as an option to communicate with you. 

  2. Develop a comprehensive response plan so you’re regularly checking the various ‘inboxes’ as part of your daily/weekly workflow. 

  3. Decide if you want to attempt the almost mythical “Inbox Zero” and how you’ll tackle it each day, OR how you will use other inbox management strategies.
