Ask: How Do I Never Receive This Email Again?

We're all drowning in email. Here's a rule to consider: every time you answer an email, stop and ask yourself, "What can I do so I never get this exact email again?" Maybe the answer is a form, a shared doc, an FAQ, a sign on your door, a template. Maybe it's just hitting unsubscribe. This isn't about your fun emails (the ones from friends or that one newsletter you actually read), it's for the hassle mail, the stuff that shows up again and again asking the same question over and over. Answer it once, then build a solution.
