I think every man with years of online in the back remembers the “golden times” from the “beginning” of the Internet (at least for us). When I had an email box that I received ONLY messages from my acquaintances or (less often) a notice from what we set. I had 2-3 emails a day, and so on. Then the damn thing went crazy.  See more here.

At this time, we’ve come to swim through spam, unwanted notifications, pictures from friends who are now discovering and wrongly using the forward feature whenever they catch a view of kittens, etc. At least I have devils when they receive such a thing, and I have taken enough time or paper with various acquaintances who have not learned that we do not all have time for nonsense. We also put here all sorts of lists and lists that you do not remember to be “subscribed,” but here’s how it happens to love you very much against your will, even.

This is how we make slalom among tens or hundreds of imbecile and useless messages, to give the few that matter. Today, it’s Monday, and you probably enjoy the “harvest” over the weekend (if you have not been diligent in the last two days), it’s a good story about how we can keep your inbox under the sack, and your comments and advice are expected and appreciated.

1. Do not mix the jars – keep separate addresses for “fun” and work

I have a general Gmail address used around the world: unsupported support on some sites, subscription to the very few stuff I subscribe to, buying various on the net, possibly playing a game account. I also have a few special addresses for my portfolio. Those are used exclusively for the sites in question, so we have extremely little “traffic” on them. I also like the shared inbox using ClientFlow; it gives me the liberty to communicate more efficiently.

By not using the leading addresses for “common” stuff, I manage to stay away from enough problems. It does not work everything correctly, it gets more spam, but it’s still supportive. I have been using email clients like Thunderbird or Outlook Express for some years because we used Gmail as a collector account anyway. Now I have all the necessary addresses through Gmail and can write under any account, and the messages come to the heap.

2. Do not accept receiving things you’re not interested in

I was pretty abrasive some years ago with some buddies who were probably bored with office work, sending me all sorts of apps. After a shrouded threat “next time I will block everything you send me,” they stopped putting me on their list. My comment did not drop well, and they thought that if they had anything serious to send me, they would not reach me, so they did. The unpleasant feeling has passed, and I do not receive any more stupidity. If I want to burn the gas, I say that after so many years on the net, I find myself alone where to poke my eyes, precisely other fun in the inbox do not miss.

3. Do not subscribe to everything

I know, there is much insanity with subscriptions, any blog or Eastern site looking to get you on the subscription. Be careful what you accept to come by email. It’s not a problem that you have a message from a “vendor,” it’s a problem when you have tens or hundreds of messages, that everyone thinks they have something to say. Choose with great discernment. If you can not escape, make a “spam” account and use it just for that, keeping your main account for messages that are worth reading.

4. If it takes less than 2 minutes to solve the problem, resolve it, if not, do something with that message

Here’s a little pop, I say, and it does not come out all the time. I have enough moments when I’m so full of messages, I ignore them in a pile, and then I curse my days. I am not always consistent, so it is a continuous struggle with my imperfect self. The point is, though, if the e-mail task takes just 2 minutes, do it NOW. It is not worth the wait and especially the keep of the busy place. Delete what’s not exciting, archive or label labels for stuff that matters.

5. Do not publish your email address

I know it’s fashionable to put your significant email address on the site, letting everyone know how to give you. Moreover, maybe it is written in the usual way, perhaps he’s a potential client, and you wonder why you can not get rid of messages that are meant to “augment” your stuff or treat your nerves (probably consumed by spam).

I’ve begun to make myself lucky lately, so there’s no address on some of my sites. I have a contact form, the world uses it, and that is it. If it is worth the effort (so the message is not spam), I answer (and then the correspondent sees the address), if not I keep on deleting.

6. Keep on cleaning the spam

Moreover, a thing that I do not do as often as it is, but which helps a lot. Make it a habit of deleting the irrelevant stuff, and in time you will have a little more relaxed inbox.
