SMILING FOR FILING
Previous parts of this article: Part 1
Do Not:
Use your inbox or your “Deleted Items” folder as your e-mail storage location and/or archive. Using your inbox as an e-mail storage will eat away your attention units!! Remember? (See “You Touch It, You Play It” tip). Using your inbox as storage or filing will make it hard to find what you need and will slow you down (every time you need to sift through it all, blah blah blah – not good!). Of course, on top of what you’ve received you also have the Sent items folder with all the sent communications.
Clearly the e-mails start adding up quickly and soon you have thousands of e-mails to sift through to find just one – and don’t think search tools will help (sometimes you can’t remember key words, it’s slow, you end up not finding things anyway, etc.)! Again, not good!
Using the Deleted Items folder is not only dangerous (you may lose the data!) but also, since the data is not organized, it will be hard to find and will slow you down.
