How to Get Rid Of Your Overflowing Email Inbox And Read Newsletters





Even at my day job for Google, my Gmail inbox (with upwards of a hundred emails daily) is at zero at the end of my workday.
This doesn’t happen by accident. I have always focused on getting to inbox zero. I’ll do this with three ideas in mind:
My dad has a gazillion folders, sub-folders, sub-sub-folders (and so on, and on, and on…) for every email he gets. In theory, that makes his inbox tidy and organized.

In practice, he’s trying to find the right sub-sub-sub-folder for each email he receives. That takes time. A lot of time. And it solely depends on his memory to find the right place for each email.
Other people I know have a sophisticated automated filter or label setup for their emails. Mails from specific people, with certain addresses or endings, with recognized keywords get labeled automatically. Those labels are sorted automatically as well.
Technically yes, but setting up that process must be a pain in the b*tt. Also, keeping up with it, updating label automation, adding new addresses or keywords, and removing triggers, that all takes time as well. And a lot can go wrong if you forget a thing or two. Again, it also heavily relies on memory.
