Surviving News Flash Inundation
I'm one of those "always on" types - you know, the one's that check their smart phone for email every 30 seconds (except while driving, of course). I'm often at work, whether in the office or at meetings, easily 60 hours a week. Then, during what's left of the evening hours and the weekend, with the smart phone, laptop, and/or iPad never far from my reach, I clock another 5 or 6 hours. Email for me, and for people like me, is a vital component of the information stream and I almost feel like I'm missing something when I can't check in. I receive an average of 200-250 emails a day - low by some standards. This does not include the more traditional print media, which continues to hum along at its usual level as well. A large set of these emails are direct connection emails to which I must reply and/or interact in some way. But, another set of these emails are subscription-based. These are emails to which I have subscribed that provide updated information on areas of my interest, both personal and professional...

 For example, I am
subscribed to several emergency preparedness and homeland security sites
that provide intelligence information as well as information on
available grants and program data. Good information to peruse, but
honestly, the number of seemingly relevant emails can get overwhelming.
But there is simply no way that I can eliminate one or more of these
sources of information because for me, they
all contain vital bits of data that I have come to rely upon (spoken like a true information junkie).
 So - my email inbox is organized to the point of
eccentricity. Using my email program rules (for me it's Mac Mail with
Mailtags), daily work-related emails are automatically sorted and tagged
for follow-up, junk email is automatically moved to a separate folder,
and subscription based emails are categorized by sender and
automatically moved to a "read" folder. Then, after I've gone through
my immediate reply/response emails I move to the read folder to peruse
the subscription-based blogs, news flashes, notifications, and other
emails that I have received based on their topic.
So why am I telling you the details of my email
idiosyncrasies? Well, it's because the City's News Flashes are just such
subscription-based emails. Each email contains information
that may be valuable to anyone in the community. But, receipt of these
emails can be overwhelming to anyone that doesn't have an organized
email structure and as a result, one might "un-subscribe" in order to
lessen the impact on their electronic inbox.
Emails from the City's web-based notification services come
from "listserv@civicplus.com." When you subscribe to the various News
Flashes, Calendars, E-Notifications, Alerts, etc. you must setup your
spam filter to allow emails from "listserv@civicplus.com" as a trusted
sender. Without this key step, emails will either end up in your junk
or spam folder or be automatically deleted based on your email program
settings. Once you've set it up as a trusted sender, you can then
create rules and folders to automatically move the emails into folders
so that you can review them later at your leisure, thus freeing up space in
your inbox - and your daily routine.
So - sign-up for all of the City's notifications -
everything from Capital Projects to Admin to the Calendar to
E-Notifications - to Alerts. We generally send out information that is of general community interest. Setup your folders and file away! (Just
don't forget to read them later.)
