We all can get overwhelmed by that ever increasing inbox. I am the kind of guy that likes to have no outstanding emails that I haven't at least looked at. It actually bothers me if I haven't opened an email. Sometimes though, I just don't have the time to look and then respond right away. And then when I finally do get time I forget that I needed to respond to the email. Today, I was looking through my typical list of blogs I always read and came across an article by Lifehacker that told me how to cure this problem. It was setting up a customized email response that gets sent to anyone who emails you. Now this may not work for everyone but creating a custom response to the people that email you the most could be a very impressive and effective tool! The part I like the best is how you can put in other ways to contact you if they need you urgently. As a student I wish my professors would use this because sometimes I can't wait until the next day or the next week, whenever they finally find the time to respond to me. All in all this seems like a solid idea. So check it out if you would like!
