Making efficient use of your time, especially in the mornings, will make a big difference when it comes to productivity. E-Mail can, and often does, take up much more time than it deserves. Making the situation worse, most of us are getting more spam than ham in our boxes.

The assassin seems to regularly have more false positives and negatives than I would like to see. One good solution I have found is to install SpamBayes into my outlook client. Yes, this solution only works if you are using Microsoft outlook but as a consultant you do not always get to choose. You work with what you are given. It will take a few hundred E-Mail messages before SpamBayes becomes proficient at recognizing and moving your spam but it’s well worth the time to train it. Once I had it running it was almost easy to forget that spam even existed, needless to say, (but I will anyway) It was very effective.
