The Email Game - "Email Management Made Fun"

emailga.me or https://emailgame.baydin.com

Tim Ferris posted about this a while back, and after using it for at least six months I had to share.

The Email Game, as you would think, game-ifies checking your email. You log on, and when each email pops up, you click what you want to do with it.

Now, instead of checking email periodically through the day, I check it a few times using The Email Game and get through everything. This helps me stay focused on actual work and minimizes aimless "checking email" time.

Here's a quick video:




There's also a Gmail add-on that puts a "THE EMAIL GAME" button on the top of your Gmail. This way you can open the game straight from Gmail.

Highly recommend

Here's another great email tool I found:

Easily view all the places that you're subscribed to. I just unsubscribed to 300 newsletters.

Thanks for the tools. That Email Game is rather quick to rush through. The interface is ugly, but it gets the job done.

Here's another plugin I've used in the past with gmail: http://www.boomeranggmail.com/

Works reasonably well, but the paid version is where it is at if you need the advanced features.

There's also a "boomerang" button in the Email Game that acts similarly. I like this because you really have to decide:

1. Do something
2. Save it for later
3. Delete
