Anyone overloaded in emails lately? I am normally really good about reading and filing email, but the past couple of months it has gotten out of hand. I am tempted to create folders by month and just dump the emails in those. Anyone have any tips that work for them? Normally, I keep my inbox under 100 emails, but I am up to over 3,500. Am I past the point of trying to file them correctly?

Thanks! We have teams, but I still get copied on a lot of FYI emails. I use teams to reach out to people. I might start asking people to remove me from threads that aren’t really relevant.

Time to fundamentally rethink your emails. Take control.

Thanks! This is really helpful. I do rely on emails for information, but it could be shared during our weekly meeting with each team. I like to stay close, but maybe need to let go a little bit. I report up to a ton of people, so that is challenging, but get less emails from them. More from people who report to me.

I gave up a few years ago and just leave everything in my inbox. It's easier to search that way.

That is where I am at right now, but it is hard for me to search through them efficiently.

Select all, delete.

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.
