The quicksand of email… personal, professional, newsletters, etc.
Discovered a mega list of links to tips on how to be organized on The 99 percent recently.
One of the links tells you how to empty your email inbox in 30 seconds.
So I cleaned out mine, and it worked!
Emptiness
I didn’t exactly follow the recommended method… I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget anything really important. Here’s what I did.
1. Created the archive folder as they suggested.
2. Created two other folders: “Do this,” for stuff I really DO need to address, and an “On my mind” about stuff I’d like to research, read, and perhaps design or write about.
Then, I viewed all my mail by sender and spent maybe half an hour tossing some of the old stuff out, and moving a few things to the two extra folders. After that, I moved all the rest of the emails to the archive.
Nice! It looks like a cleaner slate anyway.
