PSA: I spent 2 years organizing my inbox wrong until a coworker pointed it out
I always sorted emails into like 50 folders thinking that was the way. But my coworker Jen showed me last Tuesday that I was just burying stuff so deep I never looked at it again. She told me to just use a single archive folder and the search bar instead. Anyone else realize they were making things way harder than needed?

Jen's advice is solid but here is the thing nobody talks about. What about emails that are time sensitive and need a follow up, like a reminder to pay a bill or a deadline for a project? I archive everything now too, but I still have to set calendar alerts or I just forget about things that are important but not urgent. So that search bar trick only works if you actually remember what you are searching for in the first place, which I often don't.

Three years of folders gone after Jen showed me the search bar trick.
