calendar; it defaults to the current day and time and puts the email
subject line as the event title. The body of the email appears in the
Description field.
4. Adjust the date and time as desired and click “Save.” Voila!
If you’re using Microsoft Outlook as your email client, it’s even easier.
While your email is open, just click the “Schedule” button, or you can even drag
an email onto a calendar date on the right side of the screen.

‘Touch It Once’ to Declutter
A messy environment can be mentally taxing, increase the time it takes to find
stuff, and eventually demand scheduled time to “clean the house.” A touch-it-
once mentality can go a long way to keeping your environment tidy all the time.
I’m teaching my three kids to practice ‘touch it once.’ They used to take their
dirty dishes and put them on the counter near the sink. I would eventually have
to go to the sink again, pick them up again, and then place them in the
dishwasher.
Now they know when they’re done with their meal to pick up their plate and
glass, rinse them in the sink, and put them directly in the dishwasher.
Same with their laundry. No more taking their shoes or socks off and
throwing them on the side of the couch to be forgotten. If they take their shoes
off, they immediately take them to their room or put them by the door.
When it comes to laundry, I even put two laundry baskets in my walk-in
closet. One is for dark colored clothes (cold water) and the other is for whites
(hot water). Why pick up and sort all the dirty clothes when the sorting can be
done when I throw it in the closet?
How Does This Apply If You’re A(n)...
If you’re an
entrepreneur or
executive, would “touch it once” help you to keep
on top of your email inbox?
