TRANSCRIPT

Email management involves reading, replying to, and organizing your emails effectively. Start by reading your emails thoroughly. For instance, if you get an email about a deadline for a project, ensure you note the due date. When replying, be prompt and clear. If a colleague asks for feedback on a presentation, respond with your comments as soon as possible. Organizing your emails is also crucial. Create folders for different categories, such as “Clients” or “Reports,” and move emails into these folders based on their content. This way, you can easily locate important messages and keep your inbox tidy. Effective email management improves productivity and helps you stay on top of your work. (112 words)
