There was a good book [0]. If you’re just starting out, try your best for inbox zero. I used to have 4 categories in outlook called SNA meeting, SNA Errand, SNA waiting.. SNA means strategic next action. It was great because you didn’t have to think about what you’re waiting to do on something.

Whenever I'd try this, once it would leave my inbox it would be out of mind and the rest of the day would inevitably find a way to get in my way. So I'd have a clean inbox, and then several growing folders that wouldn't get addressed. For now I've settled on the approach of trying to keep it organized and file once I'm done with something. If someone needs something badly enough, they can bug me again or via another channel. There's simply too much volume to actively stay on top of.
