Course Overview
Learn how to use plugins, filters, IFTTT, and Virtual Assistants to make GMail Your Greatest Tool for Getting More Done
Gmail is Google's free email service, and it's amazing. It can become your ultimate productivity tools, allowing you to get more done in less time by enabling you to focus and act upon the most important information every day.
I teach The Art of Less Doing, a framework for productivity I developed to help people optimize, automate, and outsource everything in their lives and be more effective. I'm constantly writing about new ways to save you time and get more done at my Less Doing blog.
Having a clean inbox is an essential basis for being more productive which is why I created this course. Achieving an empty inbox is not that hard when you have the right methods and tools. This course begins with my philosophy and methodology for dealing with email. It takes you through the steps of getting started with Gmail and setting it up the way I reccomend.
The second part of the course gives details on each of the amazing add ons or related services that I beleive are essential to maximize productivity. I chose to utilize videos produced by the creators of these products because they explain them better than I ever could.
IFTTT is a free service that allows you to create automations between popular web services so you can "set it and forget it" and get back to the work you need to do.
Virtual Assistants bring the whole process full circle by allowing you to outsource all of the tasks you don't want to do and haven't been able to automate.
The value I hope you get from this course is my step-by-step, cohesive assembly of tools created by the tech community framed with my original content and methods for getting the most out of email. In addition you'll be able to ask questions on the course forum which will be answered by me and/or other students. I will also offer regular live sessions where you can ask me questions and make comments in real time.

There is so much information and resources to look into this will be a process. However, I am excited to learn how to use some of these tools to make more efficient use of my time.

It's a little bit out of date now (some of the links no longer work) but well worth the time. Already my email inbox (which started at 3,000+ emails) has been cut by a third and I'm looking into shifting a lot more tasks to others.

Good concepts and ideas BUT nearly all the links were broken and the content is old and out of date.EG: Boomerang now has the functions which the guy who delivered the course mentioned were not available. He doesn't bother responding to any questions either.

The Followup, Misc, nor priority tabs were present in my gmail account, i had to create them, also the Labs options were no longer available... This being said, the introduction to these ideas have inspired me tremendously and I will be implementing many of them.
