I’ve posted a new addition (Episode 13) of my YouTube series and Better Email Management. This one talks about using search to quickly find your emails. Mastering search helps make your email sessions more efficient for a couple reasons. One, of course, is you can quickly and easily find an email you need to refer to, and another is a bit less obvious, but if you are facile at search, you don’t have to spend as much time thinking about how to store and organize your emails. Instead of creating a hierarchy of email folders or labels, and then having to remember what you did and how you handled an email that spanned multiple categories, you can just be confident that your searches will find what you need, freeing up your mind to concentrate on the work at hand, not the logistics of email management.
I focus on Gmail, but other clients have similar search abilities, so do a search and find out what’s relevant for your client.
Hope you find this helpful!
