在前几年，这个年度系列涵盖了单个的应用。今年，我们除了关注 2021 年的策略外，还将关注一体化解决方案。欢迎来到 2021 年 21 天生产力的第十二天。


如果有一件事是我喜欢的，那就是自动化。只要有机会，我就会把小任务进行自动化。早起打开鸡舍的门？我买了一扇门，可以在日出和日落时开门和关门。每天从早到晚实时监控鸡群？用 Node-RED 和 [OBS-Websockets](https://opensource.com/article/20/6/obs-websockets-streaming) 稍微花点时间，就能搞定。


我们还有电子邮件。几天前，我写过关于处理邮件的文章，也写过关于标签和文件夹的文章。只要做一点前期的工作，你就可以在邮件进来的时候，你就可以自动摆脱掉大量管理邮件的开销。

有两种主要方式来过滤你的电子邮件：在服务端或者客户端上。我更喜欢在服务端上做，因为我不断地在尝试新的和不同的电子邮件客户端。（不，真的，我光这个星期就已经使用了五个不同的客户端。我可能有问题。）


无论哪种方式，我都喜欢用电子邮件过滤规则做几件事，以使我的电子邮件更容易浏览，并保持我的收件箱不混乱。


1. 将不紧急的邮件移到“稍后阅读”文件夹中。对我而言，这包括来自社交网络、新闻简报和邮件列表的通知。
2. 按列表或主题给消息贴上标签。我属于几个组织，虽然它们经常会被放在“稍后阅读”文件夹中，但我会添加第二个或第三个标签，以说明该来源或项目的内容，以帮助搜索时找到相关的东西。
3. 不要把规则搞得太复杂。这个想法让我困难了一段时间。我想把邮件发送到某个文件夹的所有可能情况都加到一个规则里。如果有什么问题或需要添加或删除的东西，有一个大规则只是让它更难修复。

说了这么多，还有一件事我一直在做，它有助于减少我花在电子邮件上的时间：退订邮件。两年前我感兴趣的那个邮件列表已经不感兴趣了，所以就不订阅了。产品更新通讯是我去年停止使用的商品？退订！这一直在积极解放我。我每年都会试着评估几次列表中的邮件信息是否（仍然）有用。


过滤器和规则可以是非常强大的工具，让你的电子邮件保持集中，减少花在它们身上的时间。而点击取消订阅按钮是一种解放。试试就知道了！

In prior years, this annual series covered individual apps. This year, we are looking at all-in-one solutions in addition to strategies to help in 2021. Welcome to day 12 of 21 Days of Productivity in 2021.

If there is one thing I love, it is automation. I will automate away small tasks whenever I can. Get up early to open the doors to our chicken coops? I bought a door that opens and closes at sunrise and sunset. Stream the chickens live every day from dawn to dusk? A little time with Node-RED and [OBS-Websockets](https://opensource.com/article/20/6/obs-websockets-streaming), and it takes care of itself.

And then we have email. A few days ago, I wrote about processing email, and also about labels and folders. With a little up-front work, you can automate away a LOT of the overhead of managing email as it comes in.

Yes, I really do have that many filters. (Kevin Sonney, [CC BY-SA 4.0)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)

There are two main ways to filter your email: On the server or on the client. I prefer to do it on the server since I am constantly trying new and different email clients (no, really, I think I've used five different clients this week alone. I might have a problem).


Either way, there are several things I like to do with my email rules to make my email easier to navigate and to keep my inbox uncluttered.

- Move the messages that are not urgent to a "Read Later" folder. In my case, this includes notifications from social networks, newsletters, and mailing lists.
- Tag or label messages by list or subject. I belong to a couple of organizations, and while they often end up in the "Read Later" folder, I will add a second or third tag or label to say what the source or project is about to help find related things when searching.
- Don't overcomplicate the rules. This idea is one I have a difficult time with. I want to add all the possible situations that should send something to a folder into one rule. Having one big rule just makes it harder to fix if something goes wrong or if something needs to be added or removed.

Click it, click it good! (Kevin Sonney, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/))

With all that being said, there is one other thing I have been doing that has helped reduce my time spent on email: Unsubscribing from things. That mailing list I was interested in two years ago isn't interesting anymore, so out it goes. That product update newsletter for the item I stopped using last year? No more! It has been positively liberating. I try to evaluate if the email messages from lists are (still) useful or not a few times a year.

Filters and rules can be very powerful tools for keeping your email focused and reducing the time spent on them. And clicking the unsubscribe button is liberating. Try it and see!
