We all get tons of e-mail every single day, and keeping it all in your ‘In’ box isn’t always the best way to deal with it ... .
The way that I keep on top of my e-mail and make sure I’ve responded to everything I need to ... is to create three folders.
The names on the folders are ‘Archives’, ‘Follow up’, and ‘Hold’.
So the ‘Archive’ folder, everything that I’m done with, that I don’t have to do anything with, gets stored there.
The ‘Follow up’ folder is messages that ... I have to do something or respond to, and the ‘Hold’ folder is messages that I’m waiting to hear back from other people ... .
And every day you go through your ‘In’ box, and you move each one of your messages to one of those folders, the messages that you can’t respond to right away ... and it keeps you on top of it all.
