Welcome to Day 1 of the 7th International Clean Out Your Inbox Week. Today is about setting your personal goals for the week. How much time are you currently wasting and how much could you realistically save? Like being on any self-improvement programme (weight, fitness, etc) your goals must be realistic and achievable. If you are losing two hours a week dealing with unnecessary emails then a realistic goal might be to save twenty to thirty minutes a day by the end of the week.

Our Facebook page contains more tips and resources from the other two international email management gurus and throughout the day on Twitter, just follow #cleaninbox.

How about also working with a group of two or three buddies as that will help you create a commitment plan.

Good luck and don't forget to share your progress!
