Three
simple tips to de clutter your email delete, respond and file.
Delete anything that is old and outdated that you know you
won’t need anymore. Reply to emails that require a response. File away only
those emails you may need to refer back to again. You don’t need online retailer’s
offers and old coupons and articles. If you haven’t read them by now you
probably won’t.
Key
to success:
Set up folders- create folders based on categories that make
sense according to nature of emails.
Set up filters- set up auto file folder for example coupons
and offers.
Once you have it cleared out three ways to maintain and keep
it that way. Respond to emails right away saves time of reading the same email
again.
Check email twice a day. Emails waste time in and of itself
and can cause more emails. You should check email in the morning then respond
to emails that require your attention. Then check in the evening to respond to
any new concerns.
Set a Daily Target- Some emails may require time to make a
decision. So that email doesn’t return back to unmanageable set a daily limit
on how many will be left at the end of the day. You may not hit limit everyday
but by setting a target and working daily to maintain will help stay organized.
Great post! I've always set up folders, but have never set up filters to catch them beforehand! Will definitely use some of these tips, as I'd love to bring my main email account to 200 or less!
