I've always thought an effective if brutal strategy might be the one that won't even deliver your email to you if you're not at Inbox Zero, and then it delivers a day at a time so you might end up days or weeks behind. And maybe it would give you clues, like, "you have 47 additional emails waiting from this sender", so if they're spammy, you could just unsubscribe right there and it would delete them upstream without you even having to look at them.
- patates 11y agodo people really have this problem? I never remember being bombarded by a single source (be it a person or a service), email becomes a burden because there are many sources and the level of urgency is alternating even for the same source through time
- LoSboccacc 11y agoYeah I manage that by treating all mail as low priority and every chat as high priority. People chatting for spam or to bring attention to a low priority inbox gets told to send an email. This way I'm sure not to miss critical messages without relying on pepople self tagging
- r00fus 11y agoI would think this could be a real situation if you have a problem customer (read: demands more than their SLA) and you're not ruthless/effective in your communication. Sometimes not responding in those situations can lead to better outcomes than replying in haste or frustration.
