Knowing your email Organizing Style is very similar to knowing your favorite food. If you are a vegetarian you aren’t going to choose to go to Texas Roadhouse for a steak. Same goes for your inbox. If you are a Visual organizer, filing away your To Do emails would mean certain disaster. We just need to figure out what works best for YOU!
There are essentially three styles of organizing:
- Logical
- Visual
- Inspirational
If you are more Visual you are going to need Everything in One Place, Logical is more of a Neatly Filed Away style and Inspirational is a definite Do and Delete.
During the next several blog posts, think about what makes sense to you and your current habits. NOT what style you would like to be, but what style you ARE. With the listed scenarios you will find that you identify with one more than the others. You may choose the Visual method because of the logic behind it or because it’s the easiest solution. Which ever option you choose, just make sure it makes sense to you.
Fun Tip!
If you can’t find an email, but you know who sent it,
go into your Contacts, open their contact card, click on Activities.
You will now be able to see all of the emails you have ever sent to them,
they have sent to you and it will tell you what folder it is located in!
Tomorrow, I will break down the email organizing for the Logical organizer.
Until then,
Happy Organizing!
