Ultra-busy executives can waste as much as six weeks a year on bad email practices. Six weeks spent answering emails obsessively, searching for lost documents and making bad impressions with sloppy email practices. 

Most of us are overwhelmed, overstretched and over-scheduled. A lack of skills around using a calendar and organizing files is killing efficiencies that could help us stay sane--plus save time and money.
