How scheduling messages demonstrates leadership
Schedule your messages to be sent during appropriate business hours for your team when they will be read. When you send messages around the clock, you’re setting an expectation that you expect your team to be available during all hours. Using productivity tools sets an example for maximizing productivity. You’ll increase your efficiency and time management and so will your team. Encouraging your team to use such tools can help everyone including yourself to stay focused on tasks that matter the most at a certain period of time. Using these productivity tools helps to set a healthy work environment by contributing to a positive work-life balance.
Productivity Tool Recommendations
BoomerangBoomerang allows you to schedule email messages to be sent later, track responses, get reminders for no-reply emails that were sent, and schedule meetings. My favorite use of Boomerang is to pause my email inboxes so that I stay more focused.
SlackChances are, your team is already using Slack. But did you know that there is a built-in feature that allows you to schedule your messages to be sent in the future? Check it out and try it today!
