Clear out your email Inbox daily
Has an email ever gotten lost in your Inbox? Avoid that by clearing it out daily.
Yes, you can have an empty Inbox. Even if you receive many emails every day.
Set up email folders to organize and store your emails.
Set aside a time to go through your emails so you aren’t interrupted by each one.
Do one of these four things with each email, starting from the top:
Delete it (or use a ”Going Away” folder, if you are hesitant).
Do it (if it will only take a couple minutes).
Delegate it (if you can quickly pass it to someone else).
Defer it (I use a “Review These” folder).
Then your Inbox will be empty and you can start on the deferred emails. Some of these can be deleted and some you might move to email folders (for projects or people).
