I use a ton of folders.
1. If you find a good solution I will pay you $100 in cash and name my next child or pet after you.
2. I use paper files organized by topics because I can find things more quickly that way. But what do I know: I’m also old and didn’t know Feedly was a thing until I read LS1’s post.
Lol!
Has anyone else’s email onslaught increased exponentially wfh? It’s as if the partners have extra control anxiety since they can’t physically see us and have multiplied their email send five-fold.
I like using Feedly for organizing articles:

I create folder in Outlook.
Transactional practice here. I also outlook folder like crazy (usually by client, with sub folder for matters) and drag things into it obsessively during the day. Even if I don’t have a chance to read, I skim sender/subject line and drag into the folder so that when I need to quickly catch up (partner calls asking “what is status of X”) I can sift more efficiently. I try to keep my inbox <100-200 emails or so (if not entirely zero’d out) except during big closings. I maintain a similar folder structure in a local folder (which gets backed up to a cloud drive) and if there are email attachments I know I’ll need (reports, signature pages etc) I drag into the local folder so I can scan that at a glance without having to go back to my emails. It definitely adds some processing time but ultimately ends up being more efficient I think (and less stressful when I need something quickly).
