![]() ![]() Respond to your email, make it to the top.Email responsiveness is an acquired skill-the one that just may differentiate you from everyone else in the world overwhelmed by an overloaded inbox. But no one emerges from the womb with a natural talent for parrying a constant stream of new messages popping up in front of your face all day long. Responding to your email in a timely, professional manner is one of the best things you can do for your career. Empty Your Inbox with Gmail and the Trusted Trio.When you can empty your inbox on a regular basis, you've reached the ultimate level of email control. Lifehacker Table of Contents Chapter 1: Control Your Email Hack 1 Empty Your Inbox (and Keep It Empty) Every OS-specific hack in this book has been updated to work with the most recent versions of Windows and Mac OS X. You'll also find new and updated hacks in every chapter, employing tools and operating system features that weren't available three years ago. Most significantly, Chapter 9 focuses exclusively on getting more from your smart phone - a now ubiquitous piece of personal technology that was in its nascence when the previous edition was released. This edition reflects these considerable changes. Tablet computers have finally reached mass appeal, starting with the consumer-friendly iPad and expanding to devices powered by Android, BlackBerry, and other mobile operating systems. Google evolved beyond search and productivity webapps, releasing their own web browser, Google Chrome (late summer, 2008) and mobile operating system, Android (fall, 2008). (If you recall, three years ago many Windows users still used Windows XP, having decided that an operating system first released in 2001 was superior to the maligned Windows Vista.) In the summer of 2008, Apple launched their App Store and substantially evolved the iOS operating system, creating new expectations for all smart phones and mobile devices along the way. Microsoft launched Windows 7 in the fall of 2009, a considerable and welcome step forward not only for the Windows operating system, but for Windows users. If you need a reminder of how quickly technology transforms the way we live, look back no further than the three years between this and the previous edition of this book, released in March of 2008. The book contains plenty of new hacks you won't find on the site, but the two are very much a part of one another. Just by the nature of the book versus the web site, the former is extremely tightly curated, while the latter is moving and changing every day. The most important difference between Lifehacker the book and Lifehacker the site is that the book culls together what Gina and I consider to be the most valuable, time-saving, and important things we've highlighted in Lifehacker's six years on the internet, and it does so in a more organized, more thorough way. (My apologies: I had to break the post into a few separate pages because it exceeds the maximum size for our publishing system.) What's the Difference Between the Book and the Site? Huge thanks to my co-author and Lifehacker founder Gina Trapani and to all of you for helping us hone the craft of life hacks. ![]() Read a little about what's new below, or jump down to the Table of Contents for the mega-roundup.
