Email Will Kill Us All

Intended Audience: GIS User, GIS Builder, GIS Developer, GIS Instructor, Student, Management

Abstract

What started as a helpful tool is now a never-ending stream of €œjust checking in€ messages, reply-all threads, and to-do lists disguised as unread emails. In this talk, we’ll explore how email overload is burning us out, why using your inbox as a task manager is a terrible idea, and how there are way better ways to manage projects and communicate with your team. It’s time to stop drowning in our inboxes and start working smarter. Spoiler: email isn’t going away, but it doesn’t have to run your life.
