We were switched over from Outlook to Gmail at work, so what was once perfectly organized in folders (it really was!) was then just spilled into my new Inbox. All of a sudden I had no folders and a ton of emails with no labels or categories. Since that happened, I started down the slippery slope of trying to label new emails coming in, but for whatever reason, I never got on top of it or did it consistently.Do you use google mail? I find it amazing for email filing, the search and label functions are brilliant. I now use my inbox as a to-do list and manage to finish most days with it clear. I’m dying to get my hands on my husband’s. It’s so worth spending a day getting it done!
Searching works great for me as I know what to search for, but I do wonder if someone else comes in how they will ever figure it out.
I think I need to just do as you say, allocate some time to just tackle this and get it sorted once and for all. Thanks for the kick up the bum!
