30 in 30: Day 14 - Gmail: Using Stars to Identify Important Emails

Day 14 in the 30 in 30 series is about using the "stars" feature in Gmail to mark emails with different priority levels.  Because Gmail comes with 12 different star labels, each one could have a different meaning for you.  Even if your inbox only has 20-25 emails (now that you have been archiving all of the ones that you don't need right now and will be able to search for in the future) you may still want to mark those ones that need your immediate attention or the ones that you can wait on.  If you are a visual person and want those few important emails to stick out, Stars might be just what you are looking for.  You can get to Stars in Gmail by clicking on the Settings gear in the upper right hand corner and scrolling down in the General section.  You can use as many or as few stars as you would like and they appear in the order that you arrange them.  For the video on how this is done, click here.
