Do you get too many emails?

I know I do, so let me tell you what I’ve done about it. First I bought Sally McGhee’s book “Take Back Your Life Using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to get Organized and Stay Organized.” I set up her whole system, which took me forever, but found that I only used part of it.

For my emails, I set up a folder named after each sender of emails and saved each email, worth saving, in its appropriate folder. However, whenever I wanted to learn about some subject I could no longer remember which sender had emailed me information about that subject. So then I decided I should file my emails both by sender and by subject matter.

This, as you can imagine, soon became too time consuming and cumbersome.

I was stuck!

Fortunately, one day when I was browsing Microsoft’s site about using the program “One Note” I came upon an article by a Microsoft executive who had given up on using Sally McGhee’s methods and devised a different system.

Very simple. Don’t sort and file anything. Just save all the emails in one folder and use the search function to find whatever subject you want. I hope this helps you.

In my next email I’ll have some other tips.
