\"We<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stats don\u2019t lie: 44% of working adults confessed to checking their work email every day during the holidays and days off. Another 10% even checked their email every hour, yikes!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How
Even during the holidays, we check our work email daily.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you fall into the category of people who just can\u2019t ignore work during the festive season, we\u2019re here for you! We totally understand how hard it can be disconnecting from work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invite your inbox over for Christmas dinner
<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fear of missing out is totally real. It\u2019s always tempting to check your notifications and see what is going on. You tell yourself if you check your emails now, the workload will be easier to manage once you get back to the office. It\u2019s a tempting thought because we all know how painful the post-holiday inbox is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Email
Hello new year, hello all of my 337 unreads!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We <\/strong>prepared some ideas around how you can stay on top of your workflow and still sleep tight on the Silent Night.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All I want for Christmas is Mute
<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all emails are created equal, so it\u2019s important to prioritize. Instead of wasting time deleting or finding ways to ignore unimportant emails, you should mute them away. Loop Email enables you to mute contacts or teams<\/a><\/strong> so you aren\u2019t continuously notified of things that aren\u2019t critical to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lowers your stress level and also cuts down distractions so you can spend more time with your family during the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way you\u2019ll be able to focus on that one project you and your team can\u2019t drop during your days off. All the other emails, team chats and such will remain in the \u201cMuted\u201d section until decided otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Loop
Multiple functions for a lower stress level.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rock around the one project that is super important
<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is always that one project that needs monitoring 24\/7. Now that you\u2019ve cleared the email avalanche by moving the less important emails to the \u201cMuted\u201d folder, you\u2019re ready to tackle that one super important project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how Loop Email<\/strong><\/a> can help your team tackle this without stressing or spilling that eggnog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can manage the project within a team chat channel.<\/strong> This is where your team members can communicate directly and share crucial updates by using instant messaging within the email. Here you can answer questions or solve problems in real-time by seeing who is online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most projects also require several files and documents. Loop Email keeps all your files in one place; neatly archived and ready whenever you need them \u2013 take a peek under the files tab and see what you find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Loop
Many files, one place. Neat and organized.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, emails all the way<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if a client fills up your inbox with requests for an update, don\u2019t let it ruin your holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the client jingles your inbox, you can simply <\/strong>loop in your team<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>so you can go over the specific matter with everyone and get to the answer quicker. No need to spam co-workers with unnecessary FWDs or CCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way there is no need for you to go through all the emails in the inbox searching for the crucial ones. All of your looped-in emails, Loops, are stored in one channel. With one click you get a clear overview of the team\u2019s work on a specific project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum up, we almost certainly won\u2019t change our habits overnight. We can try, though, to make a small step towards a more peaceful holiday season. With Loop Email<\/a> you can have an enjoyable and meaningful holly jolly time and still be updated or looped in with your team, minus the chaos and stress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, give Loop Email<\/a> a go and see the magic happen. And happy holidays!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
