Dealing with Email Overload

All of us get way too many emails…handling it all is quite a pain, and so we let it pile up to fairly unmanageable levels! This alone makes it a prime candidate for applying GTD Principles.

However, while a number of solutions have been proposed, it needs to be kept in mind that not all of them can ease the Anxiety of everyone with an overloaded mailbox.

Now comes this really interesting article by M-E-L on dealing with email overload in Outlook in a quick 30-minute session. Do try. I’m sure it will be helpful.

Neat Outlook Hack

We all have moments when we remember things that we need to write down, or else we might forget! Further we all want to track things like To-Do Lists, and such. This is a neat hack for those moments.

Essentially the trick is to quickly mail yourself reminders.

In MS Outlook, press "CTRL+SHIFT+S". A new post window will open up. Type in a subject (e.g. To Do List), and type in the text that you want. Once you are done, press "Post" (or CTRL+S or ALT+S) to mail it to yourself!

For small reminders, just type them in the subject & Post!

The really cool thing about this is that the post is editable! This comes in really handy when you are trying to plot out a project, or doing something requiring a number of steps. And of course for the To Do Lists, which can be edited as you go through the day!

Do try it out & revert with your feedback on the same.
