Do you ever look at the clock during your workday, realize that it's already near the end of your scheduled workday and you wonder, "Where did all of the time go? How can it be so late already?" Each action you make in your workday takes up time and effort. Every little task uses up time that adds up and before you know it, the workday is over and you still did not complete all the tasks you were planning.The simple task of writing an email to each person reviewing a art proof can take up valuable mental focus and time. This mental focus and time of constructing an email, while it is only a few minutes, it's a distraction away from another task. Studies show that distractions from other projects cause lower performance and leaves less brain power. But, if you can remain focused on one task, you are more productive and save time.art design proof approval email templateIn shopVOX, we give you the option to prepare email templates that you can send along to your customers.
