If you're a Gmail user than chances are you make use of the label system to keep things organized. If you don't, or even if you only label a few different emails, blogger JThomas suggests you label every incoming message with a fixed number of labels.
Thomas' main rule is pretty simple: Every incoming mail must hold one of the predefined labels. That means he can't create new labels on the fly, and every email he receives has to get a filtered into one the labels he made. To do this, he uses a pretty basic set of labels:
- 2do
- Admin
- E-Commerce
- Contact and Friends
- Newsletters and Notifications
- Reminder
It's a pretty simple system, but the way he uses labels ensures that all incoming mail is organized somewhere, and his system doesn't get complicated with too many labels. The end result is an email system where it's easy to find what you're looking for, and you don't lose important emails that you don't have time to reply to right away. Head over to Thomas' blog post for a breakdown of what's inside each of the labels.
