A day out of the office, or a morning of back-to-back meetings, leaves you to return to an unread email count in the hundreds.
Just keeping up with your inbox could easily be your full-time job, except for the fact that you wouldn’t cross a single thing off your to-do list.
Tired of wasting time, sacrificing productivity, and putting up with silly subject lines because of email clutter?
- Set up Priority Inbox. If you use Gmail, you may be missing out on an amazing feature called Priority Inbox.
- Create filters. Many email providers allow you to set up filters for certain types of emails. You can use these filters to do lots of things apply a certain label to an email, delete it, send it immediately to a certain folder, and more.
- Use Boomerang. Boomerang is a free plug-in for Firefox and Chrome with Gmail that allows you to do things like schedule an email to send in the future, bring an email back to your inbox at a certain time.
- Unsubscribe from 90 percent of the lists you’re on. While you probably just delete most of these unwanted emails every day, they clog your inbox, waste your time checking them off and then pushing delete and make it hard for you to see the emails that actually matter.
- Use your calendar rather than your inbox. People often leave emails in their inbox to remind them to do something to make a call, start a project, or follow up with someone. Instead of taking up valuable inbox space with emails you have already read, schedule these to-dos in your calendar to remind yourself that way.
