These 4 Tips Saved Me From Email Overload - Outlook Tips & Tricks

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by your email inbox? As someone who recently started a new corporate job with a flood of incoming messages, I found myself struggling to keep up. I scoured the internet for email management systems, but I quickly realized that most of them were not designed for the demands of a corporate environment.

After a lot of trial and error, I developed a proven system that has helped me regain control of my inbox and work more efficiently. And now, I'm excited to share this system with you in this video!

First, I'll show you how to create a simple but effective folder structure that's based on the specific actions you need to take for each email. Instead of overwhelming project-based folders, I organize my emails into 5 folders based on when they need my attention: priority tasks, tasks that can be done later, waiting-for-others, read-later, and archive.

But organizing your emails is just the beginning. I'll also show you how to avoid the common mistake of constantly checking your inbox, which can be a major source of distraction and decision fatigue. Instead, I recommend scheduling specific timeslots during the day to go through your inbox and handle each email just once.

Using my system, you'll be able to quickly prioritize your emails and create a to-do list for yourself in just minutes. However, I'll also share some common pitfalls to avoid, like relying too much on moving emails around and not making time for deep work.

If you're ready to take control of your inbox and work more efficiently, this video is for you. So watch it now and start managing your email like a pro!
