#28

Inbox

Ooh I have something so exciting to share with you.  For the past few years… yes few years and I have no idea how I let it get like that, my inbox had always had over 1000 unread emails.  A mixture of personal and blog emails, but honestly it just overwhelmed me so much I had trouble getting in under control.

A few weeks ago I dedicated 2 days to spend time with my inbox.  I created folders and rules, plus I have been ruthless and deleted some really old emails and unsubscribed to so many emails that I just don’t have time to read.

I have ended my day the past month with zero unread in my inbox.  I am ecstatic!  See below, inbox is open and there is no unread messages!!!!

Todays task is to:

Empty your inbox, be ruthless!!

Now I could list exactly how to do it, but this is a really awesome post I published a few years ago from Prerna Malik that shared exactly how to organise your email for greater productivity and peace of mind.
