PODCAST EPISODE 379: MY EMAIL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Drowning in emails? In this episode, Karen walks through the exact email management system she uses to keep multiple inboxes under control—while running businesses, leading a team, raising kids and supporting a 40k+ community.

You’ll learn how to:

• Combine accounts into one working inbox (and when to use a separate “bills-only” address).
• Use color-coded flags tied to themed days (sales, team, EWRE, personal) so nothing gets lost.
• Decide fast: delete, do, delegate, or defer—and what “Inbox Zero-ish” really looks like.
• Unsubscribe ruthlessly, block repeat spammers, and stop obsessive checking.
• Handle time off with a “To Do After Vacation” folder so you return to sanity, not chaos.

A simple, sustainable system to reclaim time—and your peace.
