Emails, emails, and even more emails. Will it ever stop? In today's video, I want to show you how to reach Inbox Zero right here in Gmail with the help of SaneBox.
Hello, everyone! Scott Friesen here at Simpletivity, helping you to get more done and enjoy less stress. You’re likely receiving more email today than ever before, which means less time for your most important tasks. One of the first things I tell my clients is to follow the principles of Inbox Zero. The goal isn’t necessarily to keep your inbox at zero but to manage your emails effectively. When you open an email, make a decision: reply to it, or move it to a folder where it can be dealt with later.
This is where SaneBox comes in. Unlike Gmail’s built-in filters, SaneBox uses artificial intelligence to learn your behavior and sort emails accordingly. It places important emails in your inbox while moving less urgent ones to folders like SaneLater or SaneNews. Here are three key SaneBox features that help with Inbox Zero:
- SaneBlackHole: If you drag an email into SaneBlackHole, SaneBox will remember that sender and prevent future emails from appearing in your inbox. This is perfect for unwanted spam or newsletters that won’t unsubscribe properly.
- SaneLater: For emails that you want to address but don’t need to act on immediately, move them to SaneLater. This keeps your inbox clear and allows you to handle these emails at a more convenient time. Unlike Gmail’s Snooze feature, which can end up cluttering your inbox with snoozed emails, SaneLater helps maintain a cleaner inbox.
- SaneNews: Use this folder for newsletters and other non-urgent emails. This way, your inbox remains focused on important messages, and you can read newsletters when you have time.
SaneBox also offers a dashboard where you can adjust settings and receive smart suggestions. For example, it might suggest moving certain emails to the BlackHole based on your behavior. Another useful feature is Do Not Disturb, which lets you pause incoming emails during specific times, so you can focus on other tasks without interruptions.
