8. Avoid Multitasking with Email While it may be tempting to keep your email open throughout the day, multitasking between email and other tasks can diminish your productivity. Instead, allocate specific blocks of time to focus solely on email management. By giving your full attention to one task at a time, you can respond more efficiently and avoid the cognitive overload that comes with constant task-switching. 9. Optimise Email Searches When you need to find specific emails or information within your inbox, use search features effectively. Utilise keywords, sender names, or date ranges to narrow down your search results. Furthermore, familiarise yourself with advanced search operators (e.g., "from:", "subject:", "has:attachment") to refine your searches and quickly locate the desired information. 10. Regularly Declutter and Archive To maintain an organised inbox, regularly declutter your email by archiving or deleting unnecessary messages. Archive emails that you may need for reference but don't require immediate attention. By keeping your inbox clutter-free, you can reduce visual distractions and find important emails more efficiently. Implementing these email management hacks should significantly boost your productivity by streamlining your inbox and allowing you to focus on important tasks. Remember, effective email management is about finding a system that works best for you and developing habits to keep your inbox under control.
