Any tips on how to respond to emails quickly without them becoming a time suck! Even if it’s sorting an accepted diary invite email and putting it in the right folder. I find I get looped into email trails going back weeks and need to read it all and then work out next steps there’s no quick fix for comprehension is there? Or maybe I’m wrong….

Oh I'm the same and I'm trying to figure out a way out haha...I mean it kinda depends. If I have the time, I do admin on Friday and sort things and try to organize. I'm pretty Outlook has some kind of workflow set up so that certain emails can go into certain folders, which is something I'm planning on doing - esp with client comms and sign offs

Ah ok, so I do not put anything in a folder unless it's documentation about something related to an account that I would need to reference later. I go down the list and anything that can be responded to immediately I respond and then archive. If it's my responsibility for it to be followed through, even if the other people drop the ball I scribble the responsiblity/task down in a notebook next to me that I peek at at the end of the night to make sure I didn't completely forget about that item. Also anything you haven't looked at in detail yet make sure it's starred, and then anything that probably won't involve a lot of comprehension but isn't a priority leave unread. Anything that doesn't need action, and in which you can just skim information or don't need at all, open and look and then archive. Hope that helps1

You’re a legend thank you very much 🫶🏾

I’ve received several take home assignments that clearly use real company data or give a good indication to a company’s future strategy.

Obviously I know it’s ill advised and this is purely hypothetical, but just from a legal standpoint, would I get in trouble? Seems like an obvious way to get back at a company.

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.
