Inbox Zero - Worth Learning the tips and tricks?

avatar

No. Absolutely not.

Here are 5 reasons why:

  1. Your inbox is not your task list (or it shouldn't be). So don't hang out here.
  2. Living in your inbox puts you in reactive mode. You need to focus on being in the proactive mindset. Get out of here.
  3. You will get thrown off track by constant pings of new emails if you leave your inbox open (it's harder to regain focus on where you left off pre-distraction than you might think). Close it.
  4. People often use email as a way to offload their own tasks onto you (especially on a Friday evening...). Don't go there.
  5. Successful people have better things to do with their time. Nuff said.

Wear the badge of the 1,000+ emails in your inbox with pride :)

I barely spend time on my inbox except I send something and am awaiting a response
