In Gmail, if you wanted to know how long ago you created your account, click on Settings, go to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, and you should see a line that says “Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since _________.”
I made my email on October 19, 2005, when Gmail was still in beta/invite-only mode. I vividly remember making my email username...even though Gmail had only been out a year, david.du was taken, as well as du.david...I believe davidrdu was taken as well for some weird reason...And so, I was left with the next thought that came to mind, which was of course...ohsnapple. On a side note, I once randomly emailed david.du@gmail.com kindly asking if I could have it, but I got no reply to no one’s surprise.
Sigh...I’ve grown too reliant on this ohsnapple. I even applied to college with it! I’ve since made another ‘less teenager-sounding’ email but it’s not the same...ohsnapple is still my main bae.
I manage my email pretty uniquely in my opinion. Here’s a picture of my inbox:

Yes, that is correct - there are 0 emails in my Inbox. I delete everything after reading it. Everything is in my trash (for 30 days until it’s automatically deleted), because I realized that for me, 99% of emails I won’t need after 30 days. It also helps me feel more at ease from a psychological perspective; it’s like I’m clearing a lot of mental clutter.
The important stuff I save as PDFs onto a folder in my hard drive. And I keep the theme vanilla - simple and smooth.
Maybe you should try this system out, too! I promise it’s very refreshing.
I’ve leave you with a little food for thought...who is more ‘truly’ more organized? The person who has little on his desk because he has removed everything unnecessary, or the person who has a ton of stuff on his desk but all arranged neatly.
