compromise to make joint decisions. Whether your fights are about money, kids, or dirty socks on the floor, you are going to have them. You are going to have great days and passionate days. You are going to have rainy days and sunny days. Despite all of the possibilities of what could happen, you will learn that each day is a new day. Believing in your love and knowing that you can overcome any obstacle do not require any special training. It only requires the commitment to love unconditionally, the respect to never intentionally cause harm to each other, and the faith that you can make it through the tough times and emerge even stronger.

Unbelievable! I went away for one weekend - Saturday Afternoon to Sunday Afternoon. In 24 hrs, my inbox received 431 new emails! Email can be one of the most stressful items in your daily to-do list as an individual or business owner. I value having an almost empty inbox (emphasis on the "almost"). I know many struggle with the same. Here are some tips to help cut the inbox clutter and give you a feeling of control with your email. |
#2 Use a Sorter. Most online inboxes have options for sorting email. You can select in Gmail if you want to sort your emails in preset categories. This is a great start for reviewing a really huge number of emails. It is also great for maintenance especially if you have several social media accounts that you monitor regularly. Keep in mind, most email programs also have internal filters that look at your behaviors and try to do those repeated actions to make you more efficient. For example, when you mark emails for a specific sender as important, soon your email system will start to mark them as they come in.
#3 Start Fresh with a Schedule. I was visiting a good friend and during our conversation she needed to find an email about an event we were going to attend. She opened her inbox, and she had 18,000+ emails. My heart stopped for at least five seconds. I gasped! I asked, how are you going to manage that? She said, I will go through them one day. Do you see how overwhelming that could be? Realistically speaking - she will never go through those emails. It was time to "set her free". I asked her to archive them all and start fresh. A few days later, she called and thanked me. She said it was like a weight has been lifted. Remember you can still search for the sender or topic when you archive emails so set yourself free. If it is important, you can find it. If you did not act on it immediately or did not print it if it is extremely important, archive it at the end of the day or week. Get on a schedule. Daily may be a bit too often if you get a lot of email but weekly will be a great option too. Some people even do monthly. You decide what time schedule is best for you based on the importance and frequency of your emails.
#4 Cut the Clutter. Do you have a plan for unnecessary emails? Each email sent from a business will have an unsubscribe. Our lives change often and so do our interests. If you lived in "Golf Village" ten years ago and have moved, you do not need to continue to get the community newsletter. Use the power of "Unsubscribe" to be proactive about what emails enter your inbox in the first place.
#5 Have separate email accounts. Some people like to have one email account that they check regularly, but often the line between personal and professional emails gets blurry. You do not want emails from your kid's school to go to your work email. Remember work email is not private. The company is able to access it or if you work in a government office, it is public record. Even if you are a business owner, you need to filter important emails from personal ones.
