Look at that! Yes I clocked it in at 2hrs 45 minutes and there were actually closer to 400 to start with in the 'inbox' because I found another folder that I had dumped everything into stupidly.... It was't too bad. What I liked best about Gina Trapani's method was the suggestion of marking all the emails in 'FollowUp" and "Hold" as unread. That way when you see the number next to the folder name you know exactly how many items you've got to action and can see the number getting smaller each time you attack it. I know 253 seems like a lot of action items but a lot of them can be dealt with in batches so I'm confident that by the end of the week that number will be way smaller. Useful shortcuts for marking emails as read or unread. CTRl+Q = mark as 'read', CTRL+U = mark as 'unread'. Oh... any super urgent things that needed my attention on a certain day or time I just dragged straight onto the calendar... simple!!
