Many executives spend more than their share of time checking and answering emails. We often feel obligated to answer emails promptly when we receive them. AwayFind is a brilliant tool that can potentially save you hours of time per day on your email.
How it works is simple. When someone sends you a message they receive an auto-responder message informing them that you only check email a couple times a day, but if it is an urgent matter they can click on a link to fill out a webform. People with urgent messages are directed to awayfind.com/yourname where they can submit a short message that is delivered to your cell via SMS.
It is a brilliant idea and it is free for the basic service. It basically retrains senders to prioritize your email for you. It only takes a couple minutes to set up so it is definitely worth a try.
