Organize Your Gmail Inbox

Here’s a handy tip for keeping your Gmail folder more organized!
When you give out your email address, say to a certain decluttering blog to create an account, or after clicking the “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” checkbox, you can include a plus sign and a tag at the end of your email address.
Example:
regular email: yourname@gmail.com
tagged email: yourname+blogs@gmail.com
It will still be sent to you!
Then go into your Gmail account, and set up a To: filter for yourname+blogs@gmail.com, and it will nicely sort out your blog responses for you!
Rather than having to set up a new filter rule for each and every blog where you set up an account or follow comments (eg, one for Clutter Cubed, one for Zen Habits, one for Declutter it!, etc.), you can just set up this filter once!
Of course, you could use this to organize anything, not just blogs. Banking emails, forum registrations, anything you can think of that you plan on receiving more than one.
