LIFE101 – Questions & Answers with Nancy Black, Organization Plus (organizationplus.com)
Q: Nancy, I’m suffering from email overload and it was even worse after a recent vacation. Do you have any email management advice?
A: First, let me assure you that you are not alone. Many people are now asking Professional Organizers for help dealing with email overload and email management in general. Here are some ideas:
Have someone retrieve your email for you, or login to your account, and delete junk email and unsolicited offers (SPAM).
Limit the number of newsletters you subscribe to.
Get a separate or “alternative” email address at Google (GMAIL) or Yahoo! for email newsletters.
Be very careful who you give your personal or private email address to. Give out your “alternative” email address more freely.
Talk with your email provider (Verizon, Comcast, webmaster) or technical support person to discuss the best ways to reduce junk email and SPAM based on the email client software that you use (i.e. Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, etc.).
Use your email software to “report” SPAM and junk email. How you actually do this varies from one software package to another, but most have it.
I hope this helps. These things have helped my clients who had the same concerns.
~ Nancy
