If you’re like me, then you have a large amount of “starred” emails in your Gmail account. You know what I’m talking about. Those email messages that important enough for follow-up, but are forgotten once they fall off the first page. The annoying aspect about these messages is that there can be so many that tackling them appears impossible.
I sort of developed a new “technique” to steadily handle this “critical mass” of messages. When you log in to Gmail:
1. Access your starred messages
2. Take care of the first message on the list
3. Take care of the last message on the list
So when you log in, instead of checking only for new email, you’ll increase your productivity by taking care of past, backed-up, “important” messages.
You can also make it so that you handle the first 2-4 messages and the last 2-4 messages. It’s really how you want it. Either way, you’re steadily seeing progress. At least that what I like to think.
