When you receive 200 emails per day, it can become challenging to keep straight which emails need a response, which ones you’ve already responded to and which ones are overdue for a follow-up response.

I work very disjointedly throughout the day. I may receive an email in the morning, but I may not respond until the afternoon. However, I don’t think this is a-typical. Making sure I stay on top of emails is a priority of mine.

[…]

To assist with this, I’ve developed what I’ll refer to as the “Email Triage System” for managing email. It follows a similar framework as an Emergency Room. Highest priority cases get bumped up to the front of the line and lower priority items wait. In the case of my emails, priority is based on the status of an email.

This system has effectively got me “caught up” on emails and within any given day I can respond to all high priority emails.

Check it out for yourself.  Feedback welcome!

I’m not talking about the paid service for Hotmail Plus.  I’m talking about +addresses.  I just found this listed (amongst others) on the Hotmail Tips site.

Hotmail Plus Addresses allows you to send an email to your alias+anyword@hotmail.com  and the email will still be delivered to your alias@hotmail.com email address.  Then in your email settings, you can create a rule for a message sent To/cc  alias+anyword@hotmail.com and route that email to a certain folder.

Pretty cool, huh?

I just set up all my bills to be sent to +bills   my receipts to +receipts  and my wife will love that she gets a rule for  +important
