Do you spend a majority of your work day going through emails and wished that you could just review the important ones now, and then view the rest later? AwayFind, created by Set Consulting and inspired by Timothy Ferriss’ best-selling novelThe 4-Hour Workweek, offers users a solution to the flooded email inboxes and encourages the review of emails only twice a day.

Once the form is filled out, an automatic message is sent to the email you provided as your user ID; you can also add more email address and categorize which emails go to which addresses or delegate certain emails to you colleagues. SMS notifications of important emails are available when you’re on vacation or out of the office.

Additional features include:

• Customizable auto-response messages that caters to you different categories

Positive: Who doesn’t love the idea of checking their inboxes only twice a day and having peace of mind that the urgent messages will reach you? AwayFind enables users to prioritize their emails and increases productivity during the work day. It only takes five minutes to sign up, set up your contact form, and let you ease into a less-stressed workday or vacation.

Negative: You do have to pay for this innovative tool to grasp AwayFind’s potential, unless you’re enjoying their private beta. One issue that users might experience, which is totally out of their control, is that those sending email messages have the ability to state the urgency of their email message. For instance, you can have the same person email you over and over again stating that their message is urgent – when in reality, it’s just a regular email that doesn’t need immediate attention.

Conclusion: Email is probably the number one concern for those trying to escape the office. Whether it is for vacation or if you’re in the midst of a deadline – leaving you unable to check your email frequently as you’d like – AwayFind is the solution.
