Well, I'm here to tell you there is a way to do exactly that.
I mean, think about it: How handy would it be to have the power to drag and drop emails within the Gmail inbox and place 'em in whatever order you want? For me, it's less of an exercise in busywork and more of a way to give myself a logical and easy-to-follow path for tackling messages - like in the mornings, for instance, when I try to answer my highest priority emails first and then often end up leaving the less pressing dispatches for a little later in the day. There is, however, one exception - and that's the occasional reordering of the messages in front of you.
It's mostly just the fact that devoting your energy to organizing your email is almost always a wasted effort. It's not entirely a matter of laziness, either (though, um, maybe a little). Mind you, I lean on a carefully crafted system of Gmail filters and labels to organize messages for me - doing everything from controlling which types of missives alert me to automatically filing certain types of emails into specific tabs I've repurposed.īut when it comes to actual ongoing organization - the sort of thing that, y'know, requires time and energy every forkin' day - I'm a firm believer in the notion that less is more.
I try my darndest not to spend too much time organizing my email on a daily basis.
