While mixing business with pleasure is definitely the norm during those out-of-town trips, doing this with your email address is never a good idea. Whether your personal address is a goofy one that makes you seem unprofessional or you use it to send raunchy photos to your husband or wife, separating personal messages from your work email is a much safer choice.
Why Create A New Email Account?
If you still feel that this is terribly unnecessary as it takes away the simplicity of having one inbox for all your emails, it is always a better idea to get an email for work and another for personal messages. A work email is particularly important if you are running your own business and use it mainly to talk to potential clients. Compartmentalising said messages will not only make it easier for you to find messages in your inbox, it will also prevent certain messages being sent to the wrong recipient.
Apart from avoiding the possibility of sending weird messages to your colleagues or clients, you’d also be able to start anew. You will no longer have to delete so much spam from your inbox before actually getting to the messages that matter. This will also save you a lot of time and effort.
Having a work email will also help you concentrate on what needs to be done instead of getting distracted by emails coming from friends or family. This especially useful during work hours when you want to dedicate yourself to the tasks at hand.
Be sure not to use your new work email to sign up for new social media accounts or promos though as this would defeat the purpose. It is also important to not give your work email address away to everyone you know because this will only blur the lines you’ve drawn.
