Why inbox zero doesn’t work for me.

My inbox used to be chaos.

Thousands of emails in my inbox to read.

Every day searching for an email I had only open hours before.

Here is a tool that has made my life a lot easier.

SaneBox. I’ve been using it for 15 years.

‍

It works like this:

‍

Folders for different priorities.

Sane Tomorrow, Sane Next Week, and Sane Next Month.

‍

If I know I won’t deal with something today, I just move it, and it magically returns to my inbox when I actually need to see it.

‍

And everything I don’t need to see in my inbox -like the dozens of subscriptions and shopping accounts I have- goes straight to another folder: Sane Later

‍

Now, I run my inbox instead of it running me.

‍

Inbox zero? Not quite.

But Inbox calm? Absolutely.

‍

Everything else is sorted, scheduled, or snoozed.

SaneBox has saved me time, stress, and mental clutter.

‍

If your out-of-control inbox is running your life, maybe it’s time to believe that with a little bit of training, for you and the machine, an Inbox 10 policy is possible..
