Key Takeaways:

Too many things may sit undecided in your inbox, and over time this piles up.

The 4 Ds give every task, email and message a decision the moment it lands, so you stop rereading the same items and get back to work that matters.

Do it: If it takes 2 minutes or less, act now. Handling it once saves you searching for it again later.

Delete it: Don't be afraid to trash emails and notifications. If it needs no action and adds no value, let it go.

Delegate it: If someone else can do it, pass it on. Holding onto it only adds to your load.

Defer it: If it needs real focus, book a time in your calendar. Until the time comes to take care of it, stop carrying it in your head until then.

The 4 Ds work because they clear the mental load of unfinished decisions.

Put them to work with our step-by-step guide on how you can start practising the 4 Ds at work.
