![]() ![]() So I will have to disable my rules until I can run my macro from. If I can’t see them, I don’t do anything with them. While I would love to turn on the rules as the emails come into the inbox, I don’t like having unread emails in subfolders. I have a bunch of categories – one for each department, one for each of my supervisors (yes – I have a few), and then one for each of the committees I am heavily involved in. My old way of moving files from certain people to certain folders doesn’t quite work in my new setting here, because we have a lot of cross-functional teams at my university, so now I find it easier to use categories and then move all the read emails into one folder. In the olden days I didn’t use “conversation” sorting – I found it annoying and cumbersome, but it’s come a long way, and with Gmail defaulting to that, I have gotten used to it more. One of the things that makes my Outlook work so well as the capability of assigning rules and categories. As much as I enjoy Gmail, it’s just not very good at task management, and even implementing Evernote and TickTick as companions, I never quite got my GTD system working the way I like. I have been using their methods since 2007, only moving away from it when I didn’t have Microsoft Office at work. I implement GTD, based on David Allen’s Getting Things Done, and I also incorporate the McGhee Solutions for Productivity which basically takes the GTD methodology but then implements it as fully as possible in Outlook. I love Outlook and its ability to keep me on track.
