(I just launched my first free Event Management course on Skillshare! More on that after the tips 😉)

## 🌟 Tip of the week - Find email threads you have previously "muted"

If you're anything like me, you sometimes get annoyed at long email threads where people just **love** to hit "Reply All" (if my colleagues are reading this, I'm...clearly not talking about you ❤️)

1. You can keep the thread from popping back into your inbox unless YOUR EMAIL is specifically mentioned by "muting" the thread
2. You can press the 3 dots above the email and click "Mute"
3. 💡 If you need to reference them again, you can then SEARCH for those muted threads by typing "is:muted" in the Gmail search bar!

## ⌨️ Keyboard shortcut

- Press "M" within the email thread to Mute it!
