Gmail Without the Dread
A simple approach to Gmail that reduces noise without building a complicated folder system.
Less structure, more search
Most people build too many folders. Search and a small number of action-based labels do more with less effort.
The minimum useful setup
One label for action, one for reference, filters for frequent senders and a regular processing time.
A few labels and filters beat a large folder hierarchy almost every time.
