Organizing my Academic Journey: A Guide to Sorting Emails from Bookstores and Study Apps

In today's digital age, managing and organizing emails has become a crucial skill, especially for students. This blog aims to guide you through the process of efficiently sorting emails from bookstores and online study applications.

1. I created another folder named BOOKS with subfolder 2024, which can help me quickly  locate purchase receipts, shipping confirmations, and any promotional offers related to academic materials. Some suggested folder names include "Bookstore Purchases," "Shipping Confirmations," and "Promotions."

2. I add rules in  my email account that all emails coming from pearsonplus@marketing.pearson.com; brytewaveredshelfsupport+id518081@fhecustomersupportcenter.zendesk.com; csn@bkstr.com; support@tophat.com will automatically move to BOOKS. 

3. I created subfolder 2024 in book folder so I can organize all succeeding emails from the abovementioned accounts while I am studying here in CSN. 

4. To uphold an orderly email system, I commit to regularly clearing and deleting unnecessary emails within that folder every quarter. This practice will enable me to concentrate solely on the vital information pertinent to my ongoing semester.

By implementing these steps, I can streamline my email management process and stay organized throughout my academic journey. Whether awaiting textbook deliveries or exploring new study materials online, having a well-organized email system ensures me that I never miss crucial information. Take control of my inbox will make my academic experience more efficient and enjoyable.

  1. Yes, organizing your email by using email Inbox rules to automatically file them into designated folders :-)

    Looks like you thought you would answer discussion 2 (D02) as your initial blog post for A2 Blog?

    It's still a good way to start your IS101-3002, Spring 2024 journey, Glenda ^_^

  2. Hello Glenda! It is interesting and smart that you killed two birds with one stone by using as Professor Wu mentioned in his comment discussion 2 as your blog post since it is informative and saves time. It also helps for other people who do not initially see your discussion post.

  3. Glenda, I have always organized my e-mails into separate folders to keep them all organized. However learning how to make rules for these folders was interesting to me. I never knew you could have e-mails go directly into the folders without manually dragging them into their respective folders. It is definitely a useful skill to have and utilize to stay organized.

  4. Thanks for the tips for managing our emails! I especially like the first tip, because I always make sure to keep my receipts. I will definitely use that for my personal email as well.

  6. I'm glad we went over the rules application in this class as well, it certainly helped me take control of my inbox and made my academic experience more efficient, otherwise I would have all sorts of junk flooding my email.

  7. Hi Glenda! I've organized my emails into folders by dragging them from the inbox but learning that there was a way to have the email application to process automatically vs. dragging them into the folders is a nice timesaving technique. Nice job explaining how you set up your rules in your blog.

  8. Hi Glenda! I like the background of your post; good on you doing multiple tasks at once. That is definitely a must in this class if you want to keep on top of your work because if you fall behind, it's a lot. The whole thing about the email organizing and folder looked difficult and pointless at first glance, but I can see the use of it now despite not using it much, but it serves its purpose. You articulate your words very clearly. I wonder if you've already been to "college" but are quite intuitive in explaining your rule for your inbox; good job! Also good luck in this semester!!

  9. Hi Glenda. thank you for sharing the rules that you created to help manage your email inbox. We get tons of emails these days and to be honest, i have over 20k in one of my inboxes. Setting up rules to automatically delete and better organize your inbox is a great idea. Thank you for showing us what you did.

  10. Very smart of you to tackle both assignments in one go for this Blog Post Glenda, I wish I thought of this! I wish my Gmail would organize my Emails just like outlook does. I believe for me, finding a good rule to use that hasn't been used by anyone else has definitely been stumping me on finding a good answer. But It's good to try and get more creative and to think of something.

  11. Hi Glenda. I honestly have never used folders to organize my emails. I probably should not be admitting this, but before this class I just turned on my email notifications and read each notification as they came in, if I knew it would turn out to be important, I would just make a mental note of it... horrible I know. Knowing how to make these folders has already been beneficial to me. So, I appreciate the step-by-step guide. I look forward to hearing more from you.
