Come up with a crazy business idea.
It drives me crazy when I am at a coworker’s desk, and I can see that they have hundreds of emails in their inbox. Even worse is when those emails are in bold font, so it looks like they haven’t been read! My boss is one of those people.
I’m an organized person. I don’t like having more than twenty emails in my work inbox. When an email comes in, I read it. If I don’t need it, I delete it. If it’s junk, I mark it as junk so that Microsoft Outlook will put it and future emails from that sender in my junk folder. If I want to keep the email (or if I need to keep it for future reference), I will file it in a folder.
Within my inbox, I have multiple folders, and there are folders within some of those folders. For example, Company A/Expenses/Vendor. When my boss asks if I received a particular email, I can easily find it.
I also tag important emails for follow-up.
You can categorize emails with color. I find that it’s not necessary to categorize if you use a folder system.
For a fee, my business would organize business emails. It’s a crazy business idea because the people who are unorganized don’t care!
