My tip, for my first Works For Me Wednesday ever, is about managing e-mail. I always have a bunch of junk in my inbox and it can get pretty overwhelming.

The first thing I do is use the filters available in my e-mail program. Incoming mail that comes from a source I know (such as Blogger comments) or on a certain topic (such as education) goes into designated folders on arrival, one for each. This makes it easier for me to find things that are important.

Another thing that I find really helpful is to have a “Read Me” folder. When I go through my inbox, I mark all of the messages I want to read and move them into the “Read Me” folder. This makes it easier to delete everything else in the inbox, and the things I want to read are in an easy to find place when I have the time to read them.
