When it comes to our Gmail inbox, we all have little bad habits that just can't be changed. Whether it's deleting messages to empty the inbox or chatting with multiple users at the same time, there are some things we just shouldn't do.
Below presented are 10 bad habits related to gmail and each of us will certainly have done to some extent.
- We maintain a million drafts messages
Clicking "Composition" is the easiest way to create a number of draft messages that you will never remember. We abuse them for many things: creating reminders for ourselves, creating lists or writing a message that we never actually send.
- Delete emails for "emptying" inbox.
This is real and this is one problem. People are so passionate about having zero read emails post officey who delete messages recklessly. There are even apps that are entirely dedicated to this procedure (like The Email Game).
- Marking always as "read"
This often goes along with trying to get the inbox to zero. If you highlight a message as read, it reduces its number in your inbox. But the real problem is when you point out messages as read, which you have not actually read, thinking you will check them later.
- Having too many unread emails
On the other hand, there is the obsession not to read the messages. Leaving emails to accumulate in a digital mess gives you the convenience of dealing with 145 unread emails from work that they have put into your inbox during the weekend.
- Send emails to yourself
With the advent of cloud services, you do not have to send documents, links, and attachments to yourself that you want to save. However, sometimes it seems simply easier to send an email, because then it will be in your inbox forever.
- Overlay on labels, sublabels, and folders
We ourselves say that it is all a matter of organization. If you create labels, sublabels and folders, our inbox will be neat and beautiful, and you will always know where everything is. But then we forget why we created all of these files or use them only occasionally and everything gets more confused than when they started.
- Confusing the "Reply" to "Reply to All"
Sometimes you will select "Reply" to a group message without realizing that you should have clicked "Reply to All". Or, you always select "Answer to all" when you have to answer to only one person.
- Keeping too many Gchat talks open
Gchat can be an awesome tool for fast chatting that does not require email. But it can also drive you, and you will suddenly have to try to carry out a million different conversations at once.
- Old emails, new conversations
It closely resembles the real-life chat, email issues have a way out of the question. This issue of email that you started with your friends about some interesting news can easily come to a discussion about cats.
- "Thank you!", "No, thank you!"
Sometimes it is difficult to know when to end a conversation. You want to be polite and say, "Thank you!" but then the other person responds with a "Thank you!". When will it finish; Who says the last word? It's the kind of part of Gmail and every email that will never die.
