Your Cluttered Email
Cluttered email folders like any cluttered areas, are
generally the result of delaying the decision about what to do with a
particular email. Organizing and managing email folders is made easier once you
have completely de-cluttered your Inbox, Sent, and Delete folders. Using an
email system like Microsoft Outlook, and actively using folders and sub-folders,
will keep your emails orderly and clutter-free!
Readers are encouraged to email regina@AClearPath.net with requests and
suggestions for A Clear Path Top 10!
Top Ten Tips for De-cluttering and Organizing Email
- Alphabetize all Inbox, Sent, and Delete folders;
- 1st purge (part 1): From these alpha batches delete all the "obvious" trash.
- 1st purge (part 2): Now do the same with all the other folders in your email program.
- 1st purge (part 3): Delete all emails from the 1st purge.
- Now, scroll through the alpha lists from Inbox, Sent, and Delete folders and identify folder categories for those emails you are likely to save for whatever reason. You'll use these folders in the 2nd purge. Be concise in your naming. Be sure to include folders named, "Urgent," "Follow-up" and "Appointments."
- Create the new folders and sub-folders. E.g., your "Follow-up" folder may have sub-folders for when to follow-up (next week? next year?). To REALLY organize, email folders may be similarly named to correspond to your Word folders.
- 2nd purge: Alpha order Inbox, Sent, and Draft folders. This time, look at/read each email (or email category) and drag each email to its new folder or sub-folder.
- Make a commitment to keep a few (less than 50) emails at any given time in each Main folder (In, Sent, Delete). To maintain this, you have to file/purge emails each time you work with your emails.
- As with your paper subscriptions, considering keeping E-newsletters only until the next edition hits your mailbox. If you haven't read by the time the next one appears do yourself a favor and delete!
- Most important: take action on every single item that reaches your Inbox. Do not delay! Read it, then delete, respond, or file each one.
