CONCLUSION – The Final Rules to Internalize Effective Mail Management

These final rules will help you internalize effective email management.

Simplify

Limit email folders (“@1-2-3-Plus-System”).

Arrange

Keep filing structure on the drive – not in Outlook or any other mail client.

Separate

Separate emails and task management (to-do list); do not misuse Inbox as a to-do list.

Reduce

Limit newsletter subscriptions and predominantly unsubscribe.

Focus

View mails intermittently several times a day rather than continuously.

Act!

When checking your emails, make a clear decision for each mail according to the “FASD principle”. This immediately ensures that you think about whether something – and what! – needs to be done. This creates clarity and prevents the accumulation of emails in the inbox!

Automate

Create rules to move mails directly into folders and/or forward them; use Quick Step buttons in Outlook.

Keep rule

An opened/sighted email never remains in the inbox! The inbox is kept (almost) empty (Inbox Zero).
