I have been using the Apple s built in ios email application since the beginning. It s quite a switch for me to give that up for another app, but I may have found something so much better. The app is simply called Email from a company named EasilyDo. This Email app is fantastic. It s fast, beautiful, and comes with built in features that Apple has never even considered. There are built in filters, like.. Subscriptions Travel Packages Bills & Receipts Entertainment If you are having trouble with inbox zero, this app may be a lifesaver. The great news is that you don t have to commit to it. Just download it for free, set up your email account, and use it along your current email app. If you love it, keep it. If not, let it go. It only takes a minute to setup and I think you ll see right away how easy and fun this app is to use. There is a link in the show notes for Email by 7
8 EasilyDo. [Opening Night Music] Action Steps: #1 Pick up a copy of Claire s book, Design Your Day. If you are looking for a simple and easy to read book on productivity, this is a great one. Claire shares many of her best strategies and dives much deeper into the topics that we just touched on today in the interview. #2 Identify your best 20%. We all have elite skills that bring in most of our results. The key is to clearly identify what those skills are and devote as much time to them as possible, which will inherently ramp up our progress and bring in phenomenal results. If you are not currently maximizing your greatest strengths, spend a few minutes this week figuring out how you can move in that direction. #3 If you have an iphone, be sure to download the app, Email by EasilyDo.
9 If you have an Android, or other phone, be sure to leave a comment in the show notes page of this episode to let us all know what email program you use and love.
