I can not function with an overfilled inbox. It causes me too much stress. I’ve managed mine closely for years. I don’t know what I’d do if mine got that full. I’d probably sort to get rid of all calendar responses and look at small sizes which are often people saying thanks or ok or something else that doesn’t require an actual email. Sort and delete all newsletters. Sort and delete anything more than 2 months old - if they haven’t written you again, it’s likely not that important.
After that the number is hopefully more manageable?

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country. Beer is an absolute necessity during these events. Anyhow, I didn’t drink. Proud of myself. Monumental moment for me.
