Day 11 in the 30 in 30 series is going to help you organize that mess that you call an Inbox. For most teachers, staying on top of the 30-40+ emails a day can be quite overwhelming. Just taking the time to sift through what is important that needs a response and that 50% off coupon to Kohl's takes time. What if I told you that you could separate your inbox into categories so that emails get organized in the right place. You would only have to worry about the "Primary" inbox while you are at school and could sort through the social posts and promotions when you get home.
Add or remove inbox categories & tabs in Gmail became available a few years ago and is an efficient way to separate the important emails from the ones that can wait. You do this by clicking on the Settings Gear in the upper right corner of Gmail. Chose Configure Inbox and select the categories that you want to use. Use as many or as few as you like. It even gives you suggestions as to what it will place in each of the categories. And don't worry, if you don't like it you can always go back to having a single inbox.
