Who am I? I am a screwed-up blogger and an active blog reader since 2007. A soulful dreamer who believes that passion is life and a person who is looking for meaning, just like any other human being in this world. A super girl wannabe who is currently taking chances and chasing pavements, while keeping up with time and living life in general. This is me, and this blog is the outlet of my random thoughts.

How to Take Control of Your Email

The link below leads to a special 43 Folders series looking at the skills, tools, and attitude needed to empty your email inbox -- and then keep it that way.
The problem of email overload can take a toll on your time, productivity, and sanity. While there’s no one right way to fix the problem, there is a common set of errors and problems that many people share, including a handful of terrible habits that have been reinforced by the most popular email programs.
There is a lot of truly useful information in the link below, and when you have some spare time I suggest you browse through it for yourself. But in the meantime I’ve pulled out some especially poignant pearls of email wisdom:
• If you get a lot of repeat e-mails, use templates to respond in one click.
• If an email is more than a week old, either answer it or delete it immediately.
• Trim the amount of email you do receive by opting out of mailing lists you don’t enjoy.
• Install the best spam filters you can find.
• Keep less email. As soon as a message hits your inbox, respond right away, archive it or delete it. Resist saving anything you know you don’t need or won’t respond to.
Additional strategies that I learned (when obtaining my black belt in Getting Things Done) work really well if you use Outlook as your email client. I create a number of folders that really help out, including a:
1. “Waiting for” folder: This holds sent messages that I’m waiting to get a response from. If you check the folder daily, you can easily spot emails that people have forgotten to respond to so you can email to remind them again.
2. “Review” folder: Within this folder are “one week,” “one month,” “six months,” and “one year.” Emails in these folders get reviewed at those frequencies, which really helps to keep your messages down to only what’s essential, and nothing falls through the cracks.
Finally, another key trick is to respond to email less often, even if it means checking your e-mail only twice a day. The idea is that the less often you respond to emails, the less you’ll get in return -- and ultimately this should cut down on your email time dramatically.

The Blogger
Not a lot of people know (or would even understand), but I am also a victim of drama obsession.  I've been camping in dramalandia since I was 13 years old, and that's where you will most likely find me when I have nothing to do.
One of the symptoms of this disease is daydreaming about dramas everywhere whether you are at work, walking down the stairs, sleeping, even as you are walking...creepy isn't it? Hahaha!
I am also a big Asian music fan and I think Asian music rocks! I go back and forth from Cpop to Kpop and Jpop, so I may be different (and strange) compared to other people that you can find around.  I am an elder sister  , a dreamer  , a believer  , a gamer  , wanderer  , blogger  , an optimist  , an ultimate foodie  and a, hands down, fangirl  . I love reading books  , writing  , music  , photography and traveling.
I am a nurse by profession  who is also a copy editor  and a freelance writer  . I enjoy learning how to play musical instruments  and learning various languages  . I am crazy, loud, spontaneous, free-spirited and most of the time, a klutz.
Eren Asentista a.k.a. Eray, 23, female, from Dumaguete City, Philippines. My personality...it's complicated. :D Believe me, you wouldn't want to know who I am. Hahaha! XD
I am currently watching...
In the coming days, I plan to watch...
In Asian Entertainment, I fancy...
(This is still lacking, but this is more or less it. LOL! I will most likely be updating this in the future to accommodate my growing list of biases but check em out!)
 
The things that I want to do before I die are the following:
 An Asian cruise.
Templestay in Korea.
An African safari adventure.
Backpacking to Europe.
Traveling through the European railways.
