My inbox only houses action items I haven’t finished.
Everything else gets folder’d even if it’s to something like “Dumb Work Spam” or “Misc”.

like

If I have an action item email that isn’t urgent, I put it in a to-to folder so it doesn’t hang out in my inbox stressing me out.

I daily (mostly) clean my inbox. Work spam gets deleted and anything work / client related goes to a sub-folder.

I try to keep my inbox under 20 items and that’s always my todo.

People like you make me feel…. Inadequate.
Last week I decided I was going to clear out my Inbox every day. I didn’t get through even 1 day of it.

Wait people move things out of their inbox?

Never. If you haven’t emailed me twice, are you even trying to get my attention?
