Gmail productivity tip: Superstars for keeping track of ToDo's

To get a grip on a busy inbox, keep on top of important emails by giving them Superstars.
yellow-star - Generic Star
red-bang - TODO
green-check Completed
yellow-bang - Waiting for response

And with multiple inboxes in Gmail, you can have one of those inboxes just for showing messages with one of those stars. So 5 entries from my TODO list sits above my inbox. That way I'm always atleast concerned with keeping on track.



There are other stars, but I haven't felt that they make more any more productive. Maybe as I have even more plates to balance.


Not in use:
red-star
orange-star
green-star
blue-star
purple-star
orange-guillemet
blue-info
purple-question
