The multiple-inbox + starring trick is really key. Every morning I'll dive into my emails starting with the oldest and archive+next using the ] shortcut while starring any emails I have to act on later. Once I've gone through all my Inbox emails, I work through the starred emails.
Your inbox should be like the lobby of the emergency room—that's where you do your triage.
- Natsu 15y agoExactly. My inbox has only emails I wasn't expecting to get. Everything, and I do mean everything, else gets filtered into an appropriate category. So family, friends, mailing lists, etc. are all tagged appropriately and not a one of them makes it into my inbox proper. Boring parts of mailing lists and whatnot get marked as read and I sort through the others as I have time. At this point, very little goes into my inbox to begin with, and most of what does is important.
