Email Overload – Take control of your inbox
How many emails are in your inbox right now? Yes, it’s probably 80% spam, but that leaves 20% that’s not. How many missed opportunities are in there? How many irate people are waiting for your reply?
Every day you wait it gets worse. If you have 400 email messages, do the math – if you spend only one minute reading / answering each email, that would take almost 7 hours! And when you add in the fact that you probably already read some of them but didn’t respond/address it then, you’re doubling your email time. The trick is to deal with emails regularly and completely and immediately.
Creating MP3 files
You want the following specs no matter what program you use:
- File type: mp3
- Bit rate: 192 kbps or 256 kbps
- Be sure your embedded tags include your artist name and song title
- Remove track number from file name
Windows Media Player
Put CD into drive
click on the “Rip” tab
WMP should automatically detect and scan it.
Media Player should then query an online CD information database to figure out album and track information. If it doesn’t find anything, it will ask you for track names and artist name. Be sure it is correct – it will encode the mp3 file with this info.
