What NOT to do:
Leaving todo’s in your inbox
Leaving read emails in your inbox
Use your inbox as storage while waiting for it to be actionable
What TO do:
Unsubscribe
Mark emails you don’t want to get regularly as spam if you can’t unsubscribe
Use services (i.e. RSS, Read It Later) to cut back on emails
Use services (i.e. unroll.me) to manage emails you do receive
Either forward all emails to one account OR use an application to keep all emails in one place
Take information from your email and move it to a to do list if its actionable
Do something with every email we get
Check email less often
Don’t use email as an immediate response technology
Use technology to better your life, don’t let it become your life.
If all else fails declare email bankruptcy
With the idea of inbox zero give yourself grace
