Overflowing Inbox?
Is your email inbox an overwhelming flood of messages? If sorting through dozens of unread emails daily sounds familiar, we’re here to offer a lifeline!
Discover the EJB3 Method: Your Email Efficiency Booster
We’ve adopted the EJB3 method, a fantastic approach to email management, and it’s a game-changer! While it’s specifically tailored for Google Workspace users who access their email via a browser, the simplicity and effectiveness of this method are worth sharing.
EJB3 Method in Action: Simplify Your Email Routine
1. Effortless Archiving: Press “e” to archive emails, clearing your inbox while keeping them retrievable for later. Ideal for emails you need to retain but don’t require immediate action.
2. Jump and Keep: Use “j” to mark emails as read while they remain in your inbox. This strategy is perfect for emails that need your attention, helping you create a structured to-do list right within your inbox.
3. Strategic Snoozing: Press “b” for the snooze function, temporarily hiding emails and bringing them back at a specified time. It’s a fantastic way to manage follow-ups and reminders!
4. Quick Deletion: Shift+3 deletes emails to your trash, clearing up space instantly. Keep in mind that emails in the trash are permanently deleted after 30 days unless backed up.
Why the EJB3 Method?
Think of it as turning your email management into a game, similar to conquering a level in Space Invaders. This method has not only streamlined our own inbox management but also brought a sense of order and control to our daily email routine.

This month, Murph Consulting turned 18. I cranked up Alice Cooper's "I'm 18" and Skid Row's "18 and Life" to get the vibes going. My company is now old enough to vote, get a tattoo, and get married, all without parental consent. Watch out, world!
In all seriousness, the passing of another year of entrepreneurship and running a successful business always feels like a good time to reflect. Since we started in 2007, we've assisted nearly 600 small businesses and residential clients. Businesses in every industry, ranging in size from the solopreneur to 100 employees. There’s no company we’ll say “you’re too small for us to help”, and that gives me great joy. Small businesses need tech and CyberSecurity support, and we’ve got their backs.
Speaking of, it's October again, and you all know what that means, right? The Mets have failed us, and the Islanders, Jets, and Rangers are about to. It's also Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Every small business should be implementing some basic security measures by now. It's easier and more affordable than you think it is, and definitely cheaper than dealing with the fallout of something drastically bad happening to your business.
How's your password game? Do you use strong passwords on all the sites you visit, or are they all slight modifications of one word, like your kids or pets' names or birth dates?
If it's the latter, let's chat. You should be using a password manager. They are easy to use, create complex passwords for you that you no longer need to remember, and keep them all safe for you. I can't remember the last time I had to click on the "forgot your password" link for any site, and I love that for me.
A password manager is just one of the seven software we feel EVERY small business should have in place to help keep them protected in 2025. We’ve packaged these up together neatly and made them affordable for the small businesses we will always support.
