What I did this morning simplified a lot of things


 When you have an email address for a certain amount of time things get out of hand, after my morning call with a security company that I'm considering working with. I looked at my Google Workspace email. It looked awful. So many folders that I had filtered emails into thinking it would simplify things only made things worse. When I went to look for the Google Meet link for the call this morning I had to search. Time is money, also the sales guy has other calls, I can't hold him up. 

So I went into my folders to see if I can't simplify things. First I noticed I had vendor, business resource, and civic resources all scattered around. I was always against nesting folders, but I'm looking at a list scrolling down almost 2 pages. So looking for a folder is a scrolling situation that leads back to time. 

So I'm going to have to nest these folders. When I got through it's simple. Now I must remember that when I add a new filter I keep this structure going. So when I need to find something from a vendor its within the "business vendor" folder. 

So this is a little tip from me. Your tech guy get organized with your tech like you organize your home. It makes things easier.
