For most of us, email organization is more a dream than a reality. I recommend one smart trick for every homeowner: Set up an email address just for your home.

Why you need a digital home for your physical home

Over the past five months, I sold the home we lived in for the past 17 years and bought a temporary home that we're living in until our new home is done being built. That's three homes' continuous stream of details, including utility bills, repair invoices, home inspection reports, insurance documents, cable and internet bills, landscaping services, and much more.

Even if you’ve lived in the same house for years, the emails can stack up. Creating an email account specifically for your home helps you manage and track all those messages without losing anything in the sea of your primary inbox.

It's a good idea to share a dedicated home email address with others in your household. You and your spouse can manage messages without bugging each other to forward this or that.

If you need more convincing, it’s a great idea to use this email to set up accounts for things like streaming services, Pinterest, grocery delivery, and anything else home-related.

EMAIL TIP: 10 hidden Gmail features you should be using

Set up your home’s email address

There are two ways to go: You can create a brand-new email account with its login info or create an alias account tied to your primary email address.

Both have pros and cons, but using an alias account is the easiest. You can set up a folder (or multiple folders) to capture all the emails sent to this account within your primary inbox.
