    Email Management Level-Up Lab

Have you heard of “Inbox Zero”? It’s when there are no emails in your 
inbox because they’ve all been read and filed or deleted. Sounds nice, 
doesn't it? If your inbox needs some sanity, sign up for the Email 
Management Level-Up Lab, August 20th from 2-4 p.m.: http://tiny.cc/email-lab

<http://twitter.com/swonlibraries>

At the Lab, Nathan will show you ways that your email service can 
automatically sort your emails for you. You’ll log into your email 
account and set up some folders and filters. Since automation can only 
do so much to help, we’ll also develop workflows to help you respond to 
emails and move on to other work. Get your email accounts under control 
for the fall at the Level-Up Lab.
