According to a Guardian article on a study from Loughborough University, employee “stress levels, analysed by salivasamples, as well as heart rate and blood pressure monitors over a 24-hour period, peaked at points in the day when people’s inboxes were fullest.”
Everyone’s got their own tricks for diffusing this stress. One trick that’s worked like a charm for me is to set up Gmail’s automatic filtering, so those annoying social network notifications automatically skip my inbox and land in a dedicated folder. Landing page submissions that need to get monitored every month or so? Those go in another folder. By weeding out emails like that, I can focus on the conversations that matter.
Want to start clearing out the fluff in your inbox? Here’s how you can set up automatic filters in Gmail.
For example, if you’d like to get emails with the given search criteria to not pop up in your inbox, but have it be in an easy-to-access place, select “Skip the Inbox (Archive it)” and then “Apply Label.”
What other tricks do you have for getting your email organized?
