Using Different Email Addresses to Your Advantage

I get about fifty (or more) emails a day: personals from friends and family, daily newsletters, confirmation emails and special offers, etc. Since the emails come in no particular order, I decided to organize myself concerning them. I now have three e-mail addresses.

Yes, three! One is only for friends and family, one is for newsletters and special offers, and one is for things that I want to keep. Some documents I don't want to use "Word", just in case my computer crashes. These are things like recipes, pictures, jokes, tips, and so on. Since it's internet based and the email is always available wherever I have the use of a computer.

Also, if I'm running short of time, I can check on my friends without having to muddle through all the email. I can choose to check the others later that day or even the next day. A lot less frustration is involved.

Using this system, you can basically have as many addresses as you need, the one you get from your internet service and any of the many free accounts available.
