If you get a lot of email, think about how you deal with it as you process
it. Chances are you see who it’s from, or who it’s too, or perhaps even what
it’s about, and based on that, you decide what to do with the email. You might
respond to it immediately if it’s from someone important. You might leave it
for later if it’s a subscription to an email newsletter. Heck, you might even
delete it if it’s from someone you never want to hear from again.
(I’m going to assume, for the moment, that your spam is taken care of
elsewhere. Obviously in most cases, deleting spam is probably a goodly portion
of what you’re doing too. Dealing with spam, however, is a topic for another
day.)
Wouldn’t it be nice if you had someone to sort your email for you? Show you
the email that’s most important to you first? Perhaps even collect all those
email newsletters for you to read and peruse later, when you had the time?
Perhaps even completely filter out the email that you simply don’t want to
see?
Well, you already have such an assistant.
