We’ve all been there, you took a couple days off from work. Maybe you even took a week to go on vacation. And now you have to pay the piper. Because even though you were away from work, the work kept going on without you and now you have a gazillion emails waiting for you.
Here’s a quick tip to help you deal with that inbox in no. time at all. These instructions are written for Microsoft Outlook, but similar steps will work for most email systems.
- Open your Inbox
- Press Ctrl-A (on Mac, Use Command-A)
- Hold down the Shift* key and press Delete
- Click the “Delete” button.
And just like that, you’re completely caught up on email!
* Note: Using the Shift key on step 3 is critical.
