Episode Highlights

This month’s questions cover a lot of ground. They range from practical to fun, and even a bit silly. We explore staying positive in the face of uncertainty. I have actionable tips for how to (finally) get your email inbox under control. And, yes, you can even KonMari your pets.

How to Tame Your (1000s of) Emails

Simplify your folder structure

You only need four top-level folders

1. Action
2. Waiting For
3. Access Often
4. Access Seldom

Your inbox is not a to-do list

You’ll need somewhere else to manage your tasks.

I’d recommend an app like ClickUp or Asana. They are both great for keeping track of your tasks (and you can manage projects and teams, too).

How to Stay Positive in Uncertain Times

Focus on what you can control

When it comes to the pandemic, what can you control? You can do your best to stay safe and not spread the virus.

Wash your hands

Wear a mask

Keep up the social distancing

Don’t meet with people outside of your bubble

Don’t put yourself (or others) at risk

Focus on positive things you can do

What’s a daily habit or ritual that brings you joy?

Is there a book you’ve been wanting to read? Or a TV show you’re desperate to watch? Well, take the time to read it or stream it.

Want to come out of the pandemic in the best shape of your life?

Well, it’s not too late. Now’s your chance. Make this your year to get fit! Join Alexandria in doing the Couch to 5k.

Style Notes

Do you prefer heels or flats? Either way, be bold and go for it. I realise I’m strictly a “flats only” girl. I guess I like to have my feet planted firmly on the ground. But, however high you like to stride, walk the walk that’s right for you.
