As an administrator, I have been using Gmail all the time. This training was great to help give me tips of how to better utilize Gmail in order to increase productivity. I am really excited about the use of the Google Calendar add-on. With the calendar add on, I am able to browse my calendar on the same page of my email in order to schedule meetings, trainings, etc... Great tool!
Secondly, I have really started to work hard on implementing GMail as an online filing cabinet in which I can file common emails/information. This has helped me when it comes back to retrieving important messages or information. I can easily and quickly access my files and sort through them using the search feature as well. It has really helped me cut down on printing items that I would have printed and placed in the filing cabinet.
Next I have "Important" which I mark accordingly.
Finally, I have started Starring items that I can quickly access. I set my inbox up in settings so that I have "Unread messages" (which tend to be the messages that need immediate response and I keep marked unread until I respond). I usually try to keep my unread to 20 or less emails. I then have my "Starred" messages which are ones that I want to save for quick access (for example, my newsletter articles that people send to me). Then I have everything else. This allows me to stay better organized and yet still search my emails.
I have found that this helps me keep up with my emails and make sure that I stay on top of important topics.
