If there is something there (in the inbox), I need to either complete the task - generally if it requires Action, return, l -> Waiting to move a message from Waiting to Action. Often, I’m waiting for a response from someone or access to something.īecause iOS only displays the inbox, it is generally empty on my phone. Waiting: I can’t do anything at the moment, but there is still work to be done on my part, and I don’t want to lose track of this email until the task is finished.Action: I need to do make the next move with this email.Basically, email goes from my inbox to one of three places. I’ve waxed el… longwinded before about my email workflow. Bottom Line: Prefix a label with a hashtag and a space to float it to the top of your Gmail labels in iOS while still being able to get there with Gmail’s keyboard shortcuts.
