E-mail Needs Organized Too!
You may be one of those people whose pantry foods are separated into labeled sections and your children's toys are sorted into colorful see-through bins. But how many people have organized E-mail? Chances are that your E-mail is filled with forwarded jokes from well-meaning friends or favorite recipes from Aunt Myrtle. Some people avoid checking their E-mail just because of all the junk mail they receive daily. Well don't dismay! Here are some tips to organizing the E-mail chaos in your life:
-
When possible, delete in bulk. Many providers such as Yahoo or MSN allow you to select all the E-mails you know are "junk" and then choose to delete them immediately.
-
For the E-mail that you choose to open and read, don't close it without taking some course of action. E-mails can be organized by creating folders within your E-mail account. For example, if it's a joke that you want to keep, move it to a folder titled "Jokes". If it's a recipe that you know you'll never make, delete it! The goal is to make a decision quickly and act on it. Otherwise, your chances increase for that E-mail to be forgotten.
-
Respond to requests for information quickly. By tending to the situation right away, you save time spent re-reading the E-mail later. You also save the time of those who are waiting for your response.
