Spring Cleaning #29 - email

I just spent fifteen minutes going through my email inbox. It's kind of insane how much builds up - and I've only worked here for six months!

That's nothing, though. My personal email has over 800 messages in the inbox. Over 800! But it's a Gmail account and they seem to have a limitless storage space. I should go through my inbox, delete things that are hopelessly out of date, but by this point, it would take so long that it's not really worth it. I suppose I could push that "Archive" button, but the thought of a completely empty inbox somewhat frightens me.

Relatively speaking, my work email is easy to keep track of. I haven't given that email address to any friends or family, so the only emails I receive are work related. Those fall into specific categories and I finally created folders to keep things more organized. From this point on, my goal is to make use of those (and possibly other) folders, and go through my inbox on a fairly regular basis.

So that's my big email organization plan. I'll strive to keep my work inbox up-to-date, folder-ed and clean, while my personal inbox expands to mammoth sizes. ;)
