It never fails, you know?
You wake up one morning, open up your email, and see 93476947 new emails just screaming for your attention (unless you’re me and constantly forget to check emails. But I digress).
How on earth can you tackle such a ravening beast?
Personally, I prefer pretending those emails do NOT exist.
But it doesn’t quite work that way.
Luckily, there is:
hiverhq.com/blog/email-management/
to save your day!!
Replete with not 1, not 2 but 23(!) “Tame Your eMail Inbox” tips, it includes:
Allocate a specific time for email every day (“never” is not an option alas)
Hit that “delete” button (Kinda tough when you have 52,392 emails, but hey. It’s character building!)
Labels, folders, and categories to the rescue (oh.so.brilliant!)
And a one page cheatsheet? Why not create one like so:
Step 1.) Search on Google for your type of email client… and then tack on “management tips”
Step 2.) Create folders/labels/boxes/containers/storage facilities/ to parse your email
Step 3.) Commit to maintaining a “doable” eMail schedule.
Resources for the above include:

Your takeaway?
eMail manglement can be done easily every day… you just have to train yourself to make it so.
Unless of course, you choose just to ignore said email. But I highly suggest you do NOT do that… as you’ll eventually be faced with several hundreds of thousands of emails that are happily grinning at you.
Enjoy!
