Label Functionality
Confession: I suffer from anxiety when my surroundings are disorderly and unclean. For this reason, I utilize the label function in Gmail. My labels are Amigos, Family, Self, Work, World, Danny and a few others. Therefore, when an email hits my inbox, I file it away once it's read, replied to (if necessary) and there are no further actions needed. I feel blissfully at ease when my personal inbox is completely empty as it currently is now (I also happen to love when my work inbox is empty but for a different reason).
