Is your Gmail inbox setup slowing you down?
An inbox is an inbox — right?
You'd certainly think so. After all, how many ways could there possibly be to view email?
The answer, as it turns out, is quite a few — especially when it comes to Gmail. It's easy to overlook or forget, but Google's email service now offers the choice of five distinct inbox arrangements. And within each of those setups lie even more options for fine-tuning and customizing how your email reaches you.
We're talking about more than just basic themes here, too: These are completely different ways to experience email, each with its own unique set of characteristics and advantages. And finding the right arrangement for your own personal style of working can make a world of difference in your ability to manage email efficiently — and keep your brain from suffering an inbox-induced meltdown.
