Taming the Digital Chaos: Email, Desktop & Devices
1. Conquer Your Inbox
A staggering 333.2 billion emails are sent and received globally each day. Don’t let your inbox become a source of anxiety. Implement these strategies:
- Unsubscribe ruthlessly: Unsubscribe from newsletters, promotional emails, and any subscriptions you no longer read.
- Use filters and folders: Create filters to automatically sort incoming emails into designated folders based on sender, subject, or keywords.
- Schedule email time: Dedicate specific times to check and respond to emails instead of constantly monitoring your inbox.
- Embrace the “Inbox Zero” philosophy: Aim to clear your inbox regularly, either by responding, deleting, or archiving emails.
