Hey everyone, I’m a college student building a small side project around managing email, but I realized I’m not the best person to understand what the real pain feels like… because I don’t get that many emails myself haha
If you’re someone who constantly feels overwhelmed by your inbox, or if replying to emails takes up way too much of your time, I’d really love to hear from you. I’m not trying to pitch or sell anything, just trying to learn from real people who deal with this daily as I really have no insight whatsoever.
Even a 5–10 minute chat would help a ton. You can reply here or DM me if you’re open to it
Thank you :)
Second, I treat my emails as disposable. If something is really important I save the email as a PDF to Google Drive and/or OneDrive. Both can search the contents of a PDF. I also avoid attaching files but send links to the files. OneDrive fixed their links and now it is on par with Google.
Lastly I make use of functions like Gmail Snooze so the email reappears when I need to perform a task.
