FWIW, I do this in Mac's Mail.app by assigning different colors of flags, and sorting my inbox by flags, then received date.
This allows me to have business actionables on top, then personal actionables, then unfiled bills, then new incoming messages.
- s3r3nity 8y agoAh interesting - I should try this! I'm a huge fan of Mail.app, but my biggest frustration is that the colored flags don't carry to my iPhone (the latter of which only has one color flag in the Mail app.) My other response is that I'm big on stack-ranking tasks / priorities, so your flow would be great for personal stuff, but not best for what I need for work.
- prlambert 8y agoHave you tried multiple inboxes in gmail? You can create custom sections for specific labels and then sort your incoming mail into them (using keyboard shortcuts this can be really quick). For example you can have inbox sections: Starred P1 P2 P3 Inbox (new/untriaged) You can also use 'super stars' to accomplish multiple priority states within starring. Here's an example of a real power user: https://medium.com/@gregsramblings/how-i-tamed-gmail-at-work-a0bd66a17a63 https://medium.com/@gregsramblings/how-i-tamed-gmail-at-work...
