Are you an inbox zero person, or do you let emails stay unread? I’ve always had to clear my inbox, but I recently learned many of my coworkers have thousands of unread emails

Oh no, that would drive me absolutely crazy. I need my inbox to stay clean and clear. I treat my inbox like a to-do list because otherwise my life will become unmanageable 😆

Right?! Same here. It’s all organized into projects and teams so I know what’s going on, can track what needs to happen, and easily find information. I don’t know how people do it otherwise

I would love to be an inbox zero person, but it's just never going to happen for me. In part because I'm lazy, in part because I subscribe to just about every newsletter I come across for email marketing inspiration. It makes my inbox something of a nightmare, but I've gotten some great ideas from doing it as well.

That’s fair! I’ve recently started unsubscribing from newsletters because I was getting so many and it felt overwhelming - but if it sparks ideas, keep doing you

That should be a New Year resolution for me. I try, but always fail and the numbers climb up. To my defense, work emails get read. It’s usually newsletters and random stuff.

I try to stay at 100 unread max. I use unread to mark emails to read later.

How do you all organize emails you want easily find again later?

Zero inbox person - I'd go crazy with that many unreads! If I have that many unreads it means I stopped caring a while ago.
