KEEPING UP WITH EMAILS

June 15, 2023

Emails can be that pesky little thing that will suddenly become a huge monster.  None of us love having to deal with emails unless we're waiting on an important one or receiving a reply to one that has been top of mind.  Everything else from the ads, marketing and miscellaneous non important emails are what will suddenly become overwhelming to deal with.

Small tip: take 15 minutes in the morning and afternoon and delete any email not necessary.  One can also set up the inbox to send junk mail to trash, important emails to a specific inbox folder etc. to keep a better handle on the many emails one receives daily.
