Write Down the must do list, label in order of priority 1, 2, 3 etc.

Quickly scan emails, red flag any critical problems and add to list.

Cancel meetings, accept only those that are critical.

Then chew through list starting at priority 1.

I have a call protocol wiith my team, call me once if no answer I will call back later. If they call twice in a row I know its critical.and they need urgent help. Works well.
