Thunderbird Productivity Tip: Folder Views
I was surprised when I discovered this feature! It helped me focus on relevant emails in Thunderbird. All I had to do, was click on two arrows! Ok, let me get to the point!
Thunderbird shows All Folders by default. But there are two arrows next to “All Folders” that allow you to navigate between All, Recent, Favorite and Unread folders. Keeping my view to show only Recent folders reduces a lot of eyeball movement and helps me stay focused! Here’s the “before and after” view of my folders!
BTW, another tip! Use Vertical View Layout for message display. The three pane view with folders on left, message list in center and message content on right. This works super especially in wide screens.
Bad Habits Are Limiting Your Productivity, Kill Them
First, some introspection!
How was the last month for you? What are your achievements? What are the things you wanted to complete, but did not?
And if you could redo yesterday, how would you work? If you could really relive yesterday, how would you start your day? What all actions would you take? What would you not do?
More than 80% of us would like to be more productive, more expressed and more satisfied if they could relive yesterday. Why did we not live yesterday like that than? It’s not that we couldn’t do it. It’s not a question of ability, it’s a question of going beyond the usual.
You may know that we have a Monthly Review Meeting in Magnet. Different teams meet once a month to review the last month, share the learnings and to create something for the month ahead. We started with these introspective questions this time.
