Welcome to 21 Speedmailing Tips 'n Tricks
|
|
This is a series of one-minute messages designed to help you make the most of Speedmailing by Email Handyman. Together with the folders, the shortcuts and the weekly check, they complete your Speedmailing toolkit.
We’ll share these tips with you over the next few weeks. The tips serve two purposes:
(1) As a rerun of the tips explained in the workshops
(2) As a reminder to help you stick with the new daily habits.
If you’d rather not receive them, we fully understand. Just click unsubscribe at the bottom of the message.
Here’s a reminder of how to get started with Speedmailing in three simple steps.
|
|
1. Create your Speedmailing folders
Right-click on your mailbox name in the folder tree, select “New Folderâ€.
Name your folders:
"1 FILED ITEMS"
"2 DO THIS WEEK"
"3 HOLD FOR LATER"
"4 WAITING FOR OTHERS"
"Zipped folders"
|
|
2. Drag all your old folders to the folder “Zipped foldersâ€.
Remember you are just hiding them from view. You can still access them, and, more importantly, the search function [Ctrl+E] can still find them just as fast. This action includes any folders you may have created for sent or deleted items.

3. Clear your inbox the first time using the Back From Holiday Crunch
- Start sorting from the top, if an email can be done in 2 minutes park it for now in DO THIS WEEK.
- Then use the Law of Getting Bored Twice:
- 1st time bored: Go fishing for tasks with your mouse and move them to the correct action folder, leaving all other emails in your inbox.
- 2nd time bored: Select all remaining messages in the inbox [Ctrl+A] and move them to FILED ITEMS [Ctrl+Shift+V, 1].
Useful tip? If you know someone who can benefit from this tip (co-worker, friend, spouse or former colleague), feel free to share it with them by forwarding [Ctrl+F] this e-mail. If you have any questions or suggestions, we'd love to hear from you.
