Divide Your Inbox Into These Three Categories so You Know What’s Important
If you’re having trouble prioritizing the tsunami of email in your inbox, Microsoft’s Scott Hanselman suggests a trick: divide your inbox into three simple categories: Inbox, Cc, and External.
Belle Beth Cooper explains what it looks like:
Scott uses filters to send incoming emails to three different inboxes : one for external emails (for everyone outside of his company), another for any emails he sent CC to, and one for all internal company emails sent directly Scott.
- Inbox
- Inbox – CC
- Inbox – External
This is a really good way to manage the time and energy you put into processing emails because you can prioritize external emails if you want (like Scott does) without wasting time searching for them in your inbox or distracted by distractions instead. internal emails. …
You can do it however you want – with folders, Gmail’s Multiple Mailbox feature, or this (unsupported and possibly account hacked) hack . I’ve been doing this for a while now, and it’s much easier to figure out which priorities to prioritize when you can immediately see who the email came from.
