This color hint helps you use your inbox as a quick to-do
list/task list.
You can use the categories not only for color coding
calendar items, but for color coding emails. I use this feature to help me
manage my inbox. Note – I am using Outlook, but I am guessing that most email
programs have a feature like categories.

For instance, I have a category labeled “1:1 meeting / talk
to Rick”. On the calendar, I would use this to color 1:1 meetings. In my inbox,
I would tag any email that I needed to talk to Rick about with this color. When Rick walks by or calls, I can quickly
look at my inbox and see what I need to talk to him about. This allowed me to move forward with that
email.

All uncategorized emails in my inbox are items that I still need to deal with. This helps me keep my
inbox much more manageable.
