Keeping up with passwords

Make a plan for making passwords; stick with it

Create a password vault

Make sure your spouse knows how to get to your password vault; include passwords in your will

Use online calendars

Keep a FAT in-box

File it

Act on it

Throw it away

Once you have read a message, either archive it or delete it.

Set up folders to archive your e-mail

Review the folders regularly to delete archived e-mail you no longer need

Or set up one folder and just search for archived e-mail

If an e-mail requires an answer, respond in a timely fashion

Do not Reply All To reply, change the subject line to eliminate a long

string of messages Reply only to those who need to see your response Communicate outside of e-mail

To discourage needless replies, end your e-mail with “Thanks in advance”.

You can prevent Reply All by using the BCC line instead of the To line for addresses

Delete any unwanted messages or messages you do not intend to read

Don’t bother to Unsubscribe. Move unwanted messages to Spam

Declare E-mail Bankruptcy once a month Delete any unread e-mail; if you haven’t read it in a

month, you aren’t going to.

Notify people that you have not responded to that you are bankrupting your e-mail. If they need a response from you, they should send another e-mail.
