Using myself as the guinea pig again, I’m trying –struggling– to keep my email Inbox at zero or close to it. What began July 1 as an experiment is turning into a practice that is harder than I thought it would be to maintain. But along the way, I’m more readily seeing the garbage that is coming into my Inbox causing so much stress.

Mentioned in this podcast:
Can you get your Inbox to Zero? If you’ve done it and do it every day, what are you doing to get there and stay there?
I get my personal email and 2 work email accounts to inbox zero a few times each month. I try to deal with my inboxes according to the principles of David Allen’s Getting Things Done: if it’s actionable, do it now, do it later, or delegate it. If it’s not actionable, delete it or file it away for future reference.
So … exactly why does “digital girl” spend time “standing in line at the bank”?
Shouldn’t you be using online banking?
