Like My Facebook Page!

This phrase is a huge part of our current lexicon. From your dentist to local coffee shop, or your college’s alumni association to your grandma’s best friend’s niece who sells Tupperware, everyone has a Facebook page.

Facebook pages are meant to help business and brands reach their audience! When trying to decide if a Facebook page is beneficial for your organization, business, or hobby there are a few questions to ask yourself.

I’m not sure why, maybe the mix of being busy with work and school, but I stopped checking my emails regularly. I was going through my most recent 50 or so and read or delete, and I’d check my inbox for work, but other than that I wasn’t reading emails.

Email Overload: How to take back control of your inbox.

I’ll admit that dealing with cleaning out my email became a little overwhelming, especially because I get at least a couple hundred emails a day. I also have multiple email accounts, which can be a help sometimes and other times just contribute to the stress of having too many emails.

How did I finally deal with my over 3000 emails and get back to a manageable inbox? First, I used a site called
