1. Organize Your Inbox
Create folders in Outlook or Gmail to keep important messages easy to find. Use labels like “Family,” “Bills,” or “Appointments.”
2. Use Search Smartly
Can’t find an email? Type keywords or the sender’s name in the search bar. Add filters like “has attachment” to narrow results.
3. Attach Documents Easily
Before sending an email, click the paperclip icon to attach files. Double-check the file name so the recipient knows what it is.
4. Scan Documents with Your Phone
No scanner? No problem! Apps like Microsoft Lens, Google Drive, or Adobe Scan let you take a photo of your document and turn it into a clear PDF.
5. Send Scanned Files Securely
After scanning, attach the PDF to your email. For sensitive documents, consider adding a password or using encrypted email options.
6. Keep It Simple
Rename scanned files with clear titles like “InsuranceCard_Jan2026.pdf” so they’re easy to find later.
Technology doesn’t have to be complicated—just a few simple steps can make emailing and scanning documents easy and stress-free. Try these tips, and you’ll be ready to handle your digital tasks with confidence in 2026!
