It was wild, I finally just decided to delete all of the promotions and indeed emails and it cleared up like 5 gigs
This used to be me. But I invented a better email system, and now it takes me like 10 minutes every couple weeks.
Snooze is such a game changer.
An inbox should be a task list not your steam backlog.
If I don’t need to do anything on this today, then I snooze it, or I archive it. If I know it’s going to be 2 weeks - I snooze it for 2 weeks. If I am done working on a task today then I snooze it.
Unless I clock out early, my inbox is empty at the end of the day.
Also if I am not explicitly required to do anything for an email, I just archive it under [Project name]. It’s by definition not my problem. If it becomes my problem - someone will explicitly ask me to do something.
There is so much shit that will end up on your desk, or at your inbox that you don’t actually have to do to keep your job. People forget, and tasks are forgotten about, all the time. Prioritization happens everyday by everyone.
For example my boss just talked to me with [feasibility for some inane shit]. I am going to not do anything and say it’s not feasible if asked - it’ll take me too much effort to research it. But the likelihood of him even following up is so low it’s might as well be a lottery ticket.
Use quick rules. You probably don’t have to look at everything that hits your inbox, I imagine.
How?!
Ctrl-a + del
I guess the 10 minutes is the time Outlook needs to react to that.
…but the internet is down.
This is one of the few Twilight Zone episodes I’ve seen and it always stuck with me, probably due to my own love for reading.

Let’s get our eyes fixed!
I just fill my Photos with so much smut that there’s no more space for emails to enter my inbox 😃
The twist is there’s no internet anymore
That’s why it isn’t filling up again
Holdup, are you all not checking your e-mails as a matter of habit?
Im checking them but im not interacting with the spam and scams. Haven’t actually noticed a scam in a long time, not sure if theyre too sophisticated for me to notice or ive been given up on as a target or if im so good at spotting them they don’t even show up.
Theres about 20 a day and only about 3 a week that I actually want.
For my personal email I click Report Spam for everything that I don’t want. Including All Promotional material. If I want something - I will go find it myself.
It blocks them, and so the amount of email I get daily is very low.
