  I don't care what tool you receive your e-mail in, you still have to manage it or it will run you.  By using labels in combination with filters, I am able to automatically sort and label (file) most of my e-mail before it arrives in my in-box. I'll read and delete and save those of interest in a file.

Building a successful long-term profitable business isn't about "marketing" your business, it's about "managing" your business - the marketing comes once you have your management systems in place. CREATE your paper-based filing system. CREATE your PC filing system. ORGANIZE your Inbox.

Look Ahead I have found that in order to save time, the last thing I do at night is to "look ahead" By look ahead, I mean that I check my calendar and tickler file for what I have scheduled tomorrow.
