Gmail Tips For Professionals



Shall I write a thousand-word essay about the inside of Gmail functions. Nope, not today.
You may have touched this before, but email handling is not an easy task, especially to professionals. After I had a couple of attempts with different mail clients, I have bitten the bullet. Gmail is free, accessible from anywhere and fun to ride.
So you wake up every morning and your gmail inbox has new mails, lots of different scope mails. What you should do then? Follow the NINE steps below and face the biggest challenge of new era... Inbox clutter.

1. Enable Gmail's coloured stars











2. Make labels
3. Set a colour for most important labels (in my case label = project + project's contacts)
4. Apply label to your new mails
5. This is the most important step... ARCHIVE the selected mails and inbox gets to zero.
6. Make a nested "Sent" label for all your Main Project Labels and archive any relevant mails sent from you.
7. Turn off Gmail’s conversation view
8. Mails need your attention for later reference, star them accordingly which means set the proper COLOUR. Next time you''re looking for this mail, just go to built-in Starred Label and voila...Colours make the difference, believe me.
9. Finally, mails need to be answered, mark them as important and seek for them under built-in Important Label.

So go ahead, use Gmail effortless because as a tool, which is what you want, after all, it’s impossible to better. And, thanks to the design philosophy that created it, there’s a lot of work coming your way very soon.
