For my people that have inbox-OCD, here is a way to automate the labels for your Gmail:

1. Navigate to Settings, and go to “See all settings”

2. Go to the “Filters and Blocked Addresses” tab.

3. Click “Create a new filter.”

4. A box will appear with a bunch of blank fields. This is where you create the rule for a specific type of incoming email. For example if you wanted to create a label for, let’s just say, “Amazing People”, you would specify in the “From” field, “kxu1@stu.naperville203.org.” (naturally)

     a. If you know a bit of programming, this query can become pretty powerful. Check out this Google documentation page for more query operators.

6. You can “Search” to confirm you are getting the query results you are looking for. Click “Create filter”.

7. Check the actions you want to do to future matched emails. Click “Create filter”.

8. Violá!

In the things that you do repeatedly, examine whether you can automate it, streamline it, make it better. Build systems around yourself for success. If you get 1% better every day of the year, you’ll be 37 times better by the end of it.
