This course will teach you how to differentiate between productivity and compulsion, and stop you from checking your emails on days off or replying at 11.35pm in bed.

Nowadays we're so connected that it's often hard to tell the difference between being a productive and a compulsive email checker.

In the blink of an eye, a pleasant evening can turn into a two-hour email spree that just doesn't seem to end.

Sometimes, things are really urgent, but it's usually the lack of real email productivity that forces you to stay online.

Alexandra Samuel is a tech writer and a regular Harvard Business Review contributor, as well as appearing in other authoritative journals such as The Wall Street Journal and The Atlantic.

In this course, Samuel tackles topics such as proactivity, folder systems, and automatic filters within our emails - things that we usually take for granted but can help to revolutionize our process for being more productive.
