Some of us are wired to bring that little red number to 0. Latent OCD, perhaps? It just makes me itch inside when it looks like someone might be waiting for a response. I need to learn to live with it.

If someone needs me urgently for something, they can ping me in our company hipchat or use any of a number of methods to contact me by voice. Email is lowest priority. I do get through my emails, but it's not something I allow to interrupt my day repeatedly. Since I switched over to this, the self-inflicted stress over keeping my inbox empty has gone away. ANd I still get the work done that I need to get done.
