I have 3 Tabs enabled on my Gmail account. Primary, Social and Promotions.

Most of my emails go to the primary tab, but sometimes some WA emails will show up in my promotions tab. I never receive WA emails in my social tab and therefore does not need to worry about it.

The first thing I will do when starting on my WA emails, I will move the emails from the promotions tab to the primary tab.

This is very quick and does not even take me 1 minute.

You select the "Promotions" tab

Select the WA emails

Right click

Select "Move to tab"

Select "Primary"

All these emails will go to the primary tab.

Great training here Rika and very useful.
My inbox is FULL of messages I don't want to delete, there is no way I can read and answer all the people I follow.

Thanks Kamil. I clean out my inbox every day. What I don't delete I move to folders I have created for each group.

Thank you for the lesson. I agree that the emails can use up a lot of time. Time management is essential

Thanks for this training! It's perfect timing for me because I'm starting to get a lot of notification emails from WA. I've set up a filter in Gmail that keeps the notifications out of my inbox for now ;-)

Thank you Daniel. You do not need the Gmail filters and can manage your notifications from WA.
You are welcome to ask me any questions on how to effectively use WA and have more time to spend on other things:)

How many notifications would you say that you get on average every day?

About 120 notifications per day and I only have 1100 followers. The more followers you have the more notifications.

The big time waster is how to decide what posts to attend to. In my training I show you how to reduce this dramatically and still give everyone a fair chance:)

Yeah, I saw that. I like the way you think. It's totally random and everyone gets a fair chance like you said. I think I'll start implementing that as well... every 7th one. I don't have nearly as many followers but it makes sense to get into a routine early on.

I try to give attention to 10 new blog posts a day. This means if I have 70 new blog posts, I only attend to 1 out of 7. If I have 50 new posts it will be 1 out of 5, etc:)

Very good! Yeah, you'd be there all day if you'd be reading all of them... actually you probably would never get done lol
