The CLEAR system

Hello everyone

I read about this in ComputerWorld magazine. I want to share TIm Sanders, Yahoo! Inc. idea with you.

As an email based society we have become rather serious about what email we want to receive. I suggest we try to answer these CLEAR questions with our email:

C - Is this CONNECTED to my job? (That gets rid of a lot of useless stuff)
L - Where is the LIST of things you want me to do about this information?
E - What do you EXPECT from me?
A - What are my AVENUES to delegate?
R - What's the ROI (return on investment), for the company or me to pay attention to this?"

This may CLEAR up our inboxes, don't you agree?

Focus on clarity and in so-doing create an air of "biz-love".

Have a great week
