Reading WA Blogs: I find reading blogs that offer insight in to learning about building a website business, tips and strategies so helpful. It reinforces the training and helps fast track the learning. I also enjoy the personal development type blogs that are inspiring and motivational as well as the ones that offers you a personal insight in to another WA's life. One way to get more out of reading a blog is to engage with the writer, and build relationships with other WA members, whether it's a comment about the content or an acknowledgement of the blog or a welcome message to the platform.

Six weeks on as a WA member and I'd accumulated over 3,500 emails! I have found the emails overwhelming. My email is connected to my phone so it goes non-stop. How could I manage reading even a small percentage of these emails including questions in the classrooms, new technical website Acronyms, responding to new members and achieve some training?

I tried turning off some of the emails, mainly the blogs for a few days and found some relief however I didn't want to miss out on any new blogs that I might find interesting and helpful. I turned the blog email back on.

So yesterday, having read two other blogs on overwhelming emails I found the best tip for Newbies from Loes. Read the blogs and engage where you can, or have time for then delete the emails you are not going to read and keep you inbox current.

It all comes down to time management and productivity. So I scrolled through my 3,500 WA emails, engaged with the ones I wanted to read and cleaned out my inbox. It took all day. So today I feel like I have a more manageable strategy for reading blogs, engaging with questions and can set aside time to get on with my training and being productive.

I hope this is helpful for anyone wanting to engage with blogs, learn and overcome that overwhelming email feeling.
