How much time do you give yourself to answer e-mail? What e-mail tips can you offer? Checking and replying to e-mail can use up two to three hours daily.

Do you use any special software to help you out? I rely on my iPhone’s reminders app and stick-it notes to manage my to-do tasks. There is a sense of satisfaction upon completing each task.
