Best Practices in Oragnizing Emails

Here are the tips on organizing your emails effectively. 

- Unsubscribe: Reduce email volume by unsubscribing from mass emails whenever possible. 

- 1-minute Rule: if you can take care of the email within a minute, stop momentarily and finish it off. 

- Priority Folder: if you are working on a minute-by-minute project, set a rule so that you will can check those important emails that need your immediate attention. Remember to remove those rules after the project is done. 

- Schedule for Emails: if you already know about the average volume of emails that you receive, schedule a time of the day to get all sorted out. If it takes longer time, schedule that as a task and move on. 

- Flag Follow-up's: If you are expecting a follow up of the email that you sent, you want to flag it with colors so that you do remember to follow up. 

- Old to New: If you have old email account that you seldom use, auto-forward that account to brand new account, which will also help reduce your crowded email client.
