Are you tired of opening that Inbox after a vacation, the slew of unread mails stresses you out, the mere number of emails overwhelm you - then these 3 quick steps can help you like it did for me:
- Read email in groups. Don't scan your email for urgent messages and leave everything else for later; that's how you begin to get buried. Check your email at set times during the day and immediately file messages into one of three folders: Take Action, hold, or archive.
- Use the "two-minute rule." If an email will take less than two minutes to respond to (and many should), respond right away and get rid of it. Letting those easy-to-respond-to messages pile up can wreak havoc on your inbox.
- Unsubscribe. There's nothing worse than unread messages from mailing lists that clog your inbox. Think about which lists add value and unsubscribe from the rest.
