Are you an email hoarder?

Trust me, many of us are! It’s very hard for some folks to hit that “delete” key and further…”permanentely delete”! Why is it so hard to let go one of one small little email that probably has no use for you or your email program ever? For me, it’s not the content, but the person it came from. My personal email habits, on a level of 1-10 (1 being bad, 10 being excellent)…I am a 7 probably.

Here are a few rules I have (and I have 3 computers checking the same email accounts, so if you think you have it bad, try being me!)

• I empty my inbox nightly
• I keep folders under my inbox to file things I need for later
• I use “Rules” to keep certain emails organized when they come into my inbox (they go directly to the folder they belong)
• I delete almost everything that does not need filing
• Every 3 months or so, I take a copy of my deleted and sent items and move them to an PST file. I use a PST file as a storage so if I do need something, I can go find it.
• I don’t use Business Contact Manager to find folks, but rather my deleted and sent items for finding who I need as well, I use my LinkedIn directory. Nope, not the most “efficient”, but I’m not an organizer either, I fix computers! But I do know Outlook well!

If you are bombarded with email in your inbox and feel overwhelmed with how unorganized it is, we can help at Call That Girl with getting those 100’s or 1000’s of emails managed a bit better so you can be relieved of your email hoarding.

This is for all email service/programs too! Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook, MSN/Hotmail, etc!!

For Outlook users: We will create a PST and many rules, start running the rules and moving emails around to their proper homes. Then work on moving email to that PST file so you can figure out where your mail is after we are done.
