What's Your Secret?

My inbox fills up pretty fast. I am absolutely not complaining, well maybe a little.


The junk mail can be a little overwhelming. Lots of people really want to date me, or sell me jewelry, or want to warn me of something terrible – you get the idea.


But past the junk mail which is easy enough to delete, I am constantly working on and revising systems to manage my inbox.


I use flags and folders. I set aside time in the morning to clean up. Those sorts of things. But I still feel like I could have a better system.


How do you all manage your email?

Same as you ... flags, folders and setting aside a block of time for emails. If there is a system, I haven't found it. And then there are the texts and DMs, PMs and voicemails. Oy!

I'm here for the comments..I have the same problem. I don't give out my email anymore when I shop.

I have an old AOL email address that I give out to stores that ask for email but my other personal and business emails still end up full of annoying content. DELETE and yes, Victoria, UNSUBSCRIBE but the battle is endless.

I think you’ve identified an opportunity for someone to fix this situation. We all share the pain. Every couple weeks, I sit down and filter through and delete the garbage. Then I prioritize with flags. Then, I execute

Still working on it---trying to find a way to set rules where things are automatically moved to subfolders after reading, and with flagging. Far too time consuming
