Solutions for SPAM, email overload, and the stress they cause from time management and Outlook expert

Solutions for stress caused by SPAM and email overload in new book and at live seminars and Web events.

ATLANTA GA June 21, 2004 -- Time management and Outlook expert, Peggy Duncan, has declared war on stress caused by SPAM and e-mail overload with a new book, Conquer Email Overload with Better Habits, Etiquette, and Outlook Tips and Tricks; live seminars; and Web events.

Duncan explains that the problem with email overload is not the new messages coming in every day, but rather the mess that's already there. It's not uncommon for people to have hundreds or thousands of messages in their Inboxes. They're keeping them because they opened them and didn't do anything with them; they're using their Inbox as a to do list and calendar reminders; they didn't think the messages were important enough to open, but are keeping them just in case; or they think they could possibly use them as evidence later (CYA).

“People often don't realize the stress caused by an overflowing Inbox. Every time they open their Inbox, they see more unfinished work, more demands on their time, and more missed deadlines and broken promises. This easily leads to stress and lower morale,” Duncan says.

Duncan advises people to set up a meeting with their Inbox to clean it out. Their goal should be to always see the last message in their Inbox without scrolling. The process involves getting organized so they can find answers fast and turbo-charging Outlook to make it do a lot of the work.

Email overload is a hot topic and is a problem at all levels, from the administrative assistant to the top executive. With the success of two seminars in Atlanta, mainly because of the Outlook tips and tricks, Duncan has more planned for Research Triangle Park and Washington, DC. To reach more people, she'll start conducting eSeminars in real time via the Web in July. In February 2005, she'll present the topic on a cruise to the Bahamas as part of the Possible Woman Leadership Series.

Duncan, whose time management expertise was recently featured in O, the Oprah Magazine, is CEO of Duncan Resource Group, Inc., with offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Washington, DC. Since 1997, her productivity firm has helped busy professionals work smarter by improving their organization, time management, and technology skills. She has written two previous books on her training topics, and publishes a free, monthly online magazine.
