Avoid the Flood with SaneBox(Sponsor)

A flood of emails is coming. Black Friday this. Cyber Monday that. A coupon here. A sale there. Your inbox will be flooded with deals, and while saving money this holiday season would be great, you still have work to do. You can ward off these distractions with this week’s MacSparky sponsor, SaneBox.

With SaneBox, you don’t have to wade through these messages to find the really important ones — the work or personal emails you have to deal with *now*. SaneBox sorts the email sent to your inbox. The important ones will stay in your inbox, and the less important ones, the distractions you don’t have to deal with right now, are moved to your SaneLater folder. SaneBox allows you to focus on actual work. Work now. Shop later.

You don’t have to drown in emails. Give SaneBox a try. Sign up for a free trial, and you’ll get a $10 credit you can use towards a SaneBox subscription.
