The Allied Advantage with Ryan Easter

How Ryan’s Coaching Helped Me Take Control of My Inbox

Ryan and I were talking about the stressors in life and one thing he said that really stood out to me was his Email Bucket System. Now, if you’re anything like me, your inbox can get out of control fast. Over this past weekend I took four days to dedicate to this way of email organization and it was pretty exhausting. I sorted, answered, delegated, and saved things until my brain was pounding and my eyes were bleeding (not for real, but it was pretty intense, haha). Before I started using this system, I had 436 unanswered emails sitting there, haunting me every time I logged in. But after learning and applying Ryan’s simple approach to email management, I was able to reduce that number to just four!

Here’s how his system works:

First set up your email so you have three categories or "buckets". I used gmail, so I set up priority folders so that I can automate my system to sort automatically after I've set my parameters.

1. Five Minutes or Less (Do Right Away)

Handle the emails that can be knocked out in five minutes or less. It feels great to get these off your plate immediately.

2. Delegate

Don’t try to do everything yourself. Delegate the emails that someone else can handle. Whether it’s a team member or another department, passing these on will save you tons of time.

3. Defer (Schedule for Later)

For emails that require more thought or effort, schedule a time to deal with them later. Don’t let them pile up—flag them and give yourself a dedicated time to respond.

After you get through your backlog, you go forward only answering emails for two hours each day - once in the morning and once in the evening. After I got through my backlog I was able to finally start responding to all the friends we made at the Australian Car Wash Show. We've been home for a month, but I fell so far behind that it seemed like I would never be able to get through everything. This system has saved me so much stress and time and t’s just one example of the kind of practical advice Ryan shares in his coaching.
