Course Description
Master Gmail and many of its bells and whistles to save time while making the time you spend in Gmail more effective.
Note: The examples in this course are in Gmail because it's free and widely accessible, but nearly all the features discussed in this course are available on most modern email clients.
Most people use Gmail with default settings, and never explore other options. But the other options help you write email faster. Plus, Gmail is flexible enough for you to change how it works and appears for you to suit your unique situation.
MOST OF US SPEND HOURS OR TENS OF HOURS IN EMAIL PER WEEK
We largely work from email, and constantly work to catch up to answer everyone. This course will help you spend less time in email, and provide you with strategies to handle email much more effectively than before
WHY INBOX ZERO IS WRONG!
When you are writing professional or personal email, the emails that come into your inbox become a todo list that other people create for you. So when you prioritize inbox 0, you let other people create your priorities for you and do your time management for you.
Instead, work from your own priority list. Stop pursuing inbox zero, and start working on your most important tasks that YOU choose.
WISDOM: SPEND FEW MINUTES TO SAVE WEEKS LATER
Don't be too busy to find ways to improve. Even if you are busy, I figured everything out for you, and share it all with you in this course, so all you have to do is watch the videos, and become more productive in email right away. Your future self will thank you!
ALLOCATE TIME TO CONSTANTLY IMPROVE YOUR PROCESSES
The reason most people never explore the extra features of Gmail or other software is because they find a way that works for them and stick to it. But doing something the same way you've always been without improving it is not staying still - it's sliding backwards because the rest of the world and your competition is improving.

By Anonymized User on 12/30/2025
Kind of slow pacing but great info as a whole.
By Anonymized User on 5/19/2025
I was expecting more tips and tricks from here. This is basically explaining what Gmail is, but very beginner level. No advanced automations to handle inbox and visually enhancing Gmail.
By Amanda Humes on 1/16/2025
The instructor was great and hands on and very matter of fact. I appreciate his candor. It is nice to know that inbox zero is not a destination to be. But he has methods of getting closer to it.
By Anonymized User on 1/5/2025
In depth dive into gmail and how to be productive with this tool. The course was also short and straight to the point. I like that. The kind of course you can do while on a lunch break or an exercise break. Thanks.

By Lilia Zhornist on 2/8/2023
I like this class so much, very easy to understand and very valuable suggestions, which I didn't think about before, taking Gmail as a basic email. I would recommend it to everybody, professionals and beginners.
By Erin Bullard on 10/20/2022
Alex's courses are always good- with extra bits of information that get you thinking about HOW you are doing things in general. This course was a basic email management course, so hit all targets for that.
