Yes, every day.
A few years ago someone taught me how to structure gmail using a system of multiple inboxes and stars. So when an email comes in I assign it a star and archive, it then shows in its inbox. Whenever I have a task that I want to remember for later I email it to myself and assign it just like I would a normal mail.
Its a phenomenal system. I dont need another app, can email myself from anywhere. Can get people to email me tasks etc.
- appleflaxen 7y agocan you elaborate or provide a reference?
- ian0 7y agoSure thing: 1) Login to settings and enable multiple inboxes. This is my setup: has:red-star URGENT has:orange-star Important has:blue-info Pending on someone else has:purple-question For reference Panel position: Below the inbox 2) Still in the settings, enable stars in the order above. 3) When you check your mail, send off instant replies, archive or star the rest accordingly. To get the orange star you just click the star icon twice, three times for the blue one etc. The purple ones I use to store things like documents I may reference later etc. In practice, I focus on the red stars every day and try to work through the orange ones maybe once a week. You could proberbly do without the blue, but its handy when your in a project management like role. You can run through them once a week and ping people for updates.
