Prioritize Your Gmail

We all receive so many emails every day and it becomes a hassle to manage our Gmail account. 

Usually, users label, archive or filter to organize their emails, but with this trick you can manage emails by prioritizing and categorizing them into groups.

By default, Gmail categorizes emails into three main categories  – Primary, Promotion, and Social. But, what if we want to categorize emails based on priority? meaning emails that are important to us should appear first followed by starred emails and then other emails.

We are talking about a view like this:
