How to organise your email inbox

Start deleting!

• Clear out the unnecessary stuff. Delete spam, outdated messages, and unsubscribe from things you no longer find useful.
• Starting with this step will make the rest of the process much easier.

Create folders

• Think of your email inbox as a virtual filing cabinet by creating folders to categorise your emails. Organise them by topic, project, or sender – whichever works best for you.
• Use folders within folders – a bit like a family tree!

Filter

• Take advantage of email filters. Set up rules to automatically sort incoming messages into their respective folders. Let technology do the work for you and watch your inbox work like a well-oiled machine!

Label

• Use flags or stars to mark important emails that need action or follow-up. It's like giving them a virtual sticky note.
• This simple trick helps you stay on top of what needs your immediate attention.

Archive

• Instead of hoarding everything in your inbox, consider archiving emails you've dealt with. Archiving keeps things tidy, and you can still find anything important when needed.

Do a little, often

• Make it a habit to regularly review and process your emails.
• Set aside dedicated time to declutter your inbox, respond to pending messages, and keep things running smoothly.
