The Shortcut keys were my favorite.

[@Simpletivity]

So glad to hear that, Gregory!

Great video! The one tip I would add is email filters with labels. I have any email from my org that wasn’t sent by me automatically labeled as such so I know it’s an internal email. I work in a school so getting back to internal emails is usually my top priority.

[@Simpletivity]

That is a great tip. Thanks for sharing!

[@LoiseKihara]

@@Simpletivity, thank you for another comprehensive and helpful video. Please show us how to add email filters with labels as suggested by Trimalchio. Thanks.

Hi Scott! Thanks for your great videos, they are very informative!! My inbox is looking GREAT but it's not working on my MacBook........only in the gmail web interface........am I doing something wrong?

[@earlrichardson625]

Very good video. I suggest that your goal doesn't need to be "Inbox Zero" - but rather, just a Inbox that is manageable. "Inbox Zero" can be an unrealistic, elusive, and even unnecessary goal. The GTD "Getting Things Done" productivity guru David Allen doesn't fret over "Inbox Zero". Instead he says that as part of his GTD methodology, a reasonable goal for email is just 1 computer screen (perhaps 15-20 maximum) so that no scrolling is required to see your whole Inbox.

[@Simpletivity]

Thank you! I agree that “Inbox Zero” isn’t the only goal-managing your inbox so it’s not overwhelming is key. Whether it’s 0 emails or just one screenful, the focus should be on reducing stress and staying productive. Appreciate the insight!

What is the E icon on the right of your screen under contacts tasks, notes and calendar?

[@sunsetatshabooms4558]

Do you ever read & respond to comments?

[@Simpletivity]

Yes, almost daily!

[@Arrow1171]

Really? 2 hours for emails? I’m getting around 200 emails and it doesn’t take me that much. I also thought you said that this app was free and now there is a subscription fees.

[@Simpletivity]

You'll see by my calendar events, that I also do other small tasks during this time (not just email). As for SaneBox, you can use any of the features (including Deep Clean) at no cost during your free trial.
