All Mail All Mail is your archive, a storage place for all the
mail you've ever sent or received, but have not deleted. You can
see a list of archived messages by clicking All Mail.
Reply label: Someone is requesting you to do something (with or
without deadline). Examples include submitting reports, verifying
something, and taking on any task. Someone is asking you to respond
to something but it requires more deep thoughts from you to
respond. Examples include people asking for your opinion or asking
about your availability for an event, showing, weekly report. After
youve replied to emails in the this folder, you then move them to
the Archive folder. Within Gmail its easy, you remove the Reply
label by clicking on the X next to the label name.
Waiting label: Typical emails that come in the Waiting folder:
Tracking codes for UPS or Fedex packages coming your way. 1.
Examples include shipping tracking numbers from online shopping.
You delegated a task and are waiting for a response / result. 1.
Examples include emails from virtual assistants, employees, and
anyone you are waiting to hear from. Confirmation from someone. 1.
Examples include asking another person if he/she received something
from you (like an email, attachment, sales agreement, home
inspection)
Voice Mail Voicemail is a filter I set up to manage my
voicemails when they come in through Google voice. Every voicemail
is sent automatically to Vicki my partner.
The Two-minute Rule If it can be done in less than two minutes
do it now 2
The value in this rule is that you go through your inbox really
fast, and initially process only what is necessary. If someone
needs a quick response, youve taken care of that. If an email needs
more attention, you can work on that later and prioritize which
email gets the most attention (after your inbox is processed and at
Gboxzero).
Huge Time Saver
Gmail has the same search algorithms as Google does
Search Capabilities Filter Settings available
Gmail Filters, Delegation!!!!! Gmail's filters allow you to
manage the flow of incoming messages. Using filters, you can
automatically label, archive, delete, star, or forward your mail,
even keep it out of Spam - all based on a combination of keywords,
sender, recipients, and more.
