Manage Email

If you are a busy bee, your email load must be killing you. It will either consume too much time of your day or mess things up to no end during the course of your day. So at the end of it all, you realize that instead of making life lighter, emails actually mess you up. But wait! Not everybody thinks this way. There are some people who manage emails so marvelously even when they have 500 or so emails flowing to their account every day.

How do they do that? The strategies are clean and simple. Go with the latest email clients for they are very easy to use. If you d ask me what I commend, I’d go with Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook.

Managing email is not a big deal if you have put good practices in use. That is why you need to use the latest version of the email client, whichever product you may choose to use.

Setting up an email client and categorizing email address and folders can take up sometime. But if you never do it, you will end up wasting a lot of time every day, without being able to manage email lists effectively. So take the time to sit down and assign email rules for known email addresses. Create personal folders and let emails from subscriptions, email lists, promotions etc. fall in to a separate folder. Assign rules for VIP emails to fall in to a folder named  urgent ,  important  or  must look.

When you manage email, make sure you don’t forget to add humor. So make sure your email client is filled with colorful notes and pleasant things that will light up your day. Make use of colorful flags when you manage emails. Assign priorities to emails according to the colors you choose to assign each email. This way, you will know which emails to address urgently and which ones can wait. It is not possible to deal with a couple of hundred emails on a single day unless your job role only expects you to do that. But unfortunately, email correspondence is only a tiny fragment of work expected from you at your working place. So you can do nothing better than to manage emails properly.
