In today's busy world, more and more people receive too many emails, and the stress of finding time to reply to them is a com- mon issue. The internet keeps us tied to our smartphones, so responding to emails is a 24/7 task, with workers even resorting to setting out of offices when they go home each evening to give them some peace of mind. The French have gone one step further, and launched a new law estab- lishing workers' "right to disconnect". Replying to emails is stressful, time-consuming, and often unnecessary. So what can you do if you are genuinely reaching inbox overload? Here are some tips gathered and summarized (because of that pesky lack of time mentioned above) to start your organizational inbox purge/journey. I f you're sitting on emails from months ago, odds are you don't need them anymore. But then again, you never know, right?

If that leaves you with a stack of emails that's still larger than you want to deal with—like triple digits—continue to adjust the date until your inbox decreases to double or single digits. Title your folder "Before 8/1/2015" (or your chosen date). This way, you can always dig through your folder if you ever need to access an ancient message. An easy way to move thousands of emails at once: If you use Outlook, type "received: <08/01/2015" (or your chosen date, in that format) into your inbox search bar.
