Another Way To Cope With Volume of Messages
Johnson, Landy (Director of Grant Development) 01 Aug 2007 10:10 EST
If you use Outlook, you can create a separate folder for all your RESADM-L e-mails. That way, the e-mails go into the folder (which you can peruse at your leisure) and to do not clutter up your in-box. To set up such a process, on your Outlook toolbar go to "Tools" and then "Rules and Alerts."
I use the digest form of receiving RESADM-L messages, and upon returning from two weeks of vacation there were nine "digests" waiting in my designated folder.
I also took the stress survey, and was glad to have the comments box at the end to indicate the reasons I stay in this field, which include the variety of topics I get to address, the sometimes inspirational faculty with whom I interact, and the pleasure of solving lots of little problems every day. Of course, I'm still on a high from submitting a proposal through grants.gov a full week before the deadline (thanks to a wonderfully cooperative professor, who is amazingly well organized and whose only flaw is a fondness for dining on the roof of the Kennedy Center [very expensive - we've had to chat about fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers]).
