[...] Monday, I was up until 2:30 am cleaning out my inbox of nearly 700 emails. I also more than doubled the number of email filters set up in my email [...]

It is also important that you don’t procrastinate when it comes to taking care of the inbox issue. Sure, it’s tempting to just leave things as they are and hope for the best but let’s face it, matters will only get worse if we don’t look into the issue asap.

WOW where to begin, I’ll take the challenge to have this under control by Friday- I am reading and working through Leo’s Zen to Done. I am still deciding if I can only use gmail? I know unsubscribing has cut the email I have to deal with.There are also less bright shiny objects to distract me. I will be back on Friday with my report on following simplifying my email

Actually Kelvin, I did just unsubscribe from about 100 feeds that were sitting there unread for far too long. Good point!!!

Another thing I’m curious about is how many unread posts there were in your RSS reader when you came back, and if you’ve set up similar rules for RSS feeds.

never knew one could sort email that way, as it stands I have a few filters but I could definitely improve on it

what i struggle with is the odd emails that get stuck in my bulk box that are rsvps or inquiries that I actually need, sorting through those hundreds daily are where I lose my mind

My inbox is a scary sight. I have over 400 e-mails sitting there daring me to read them. Tonight I’m going to go through 100 of them.

I really need this motivation as my inbox is sitting at 146 emails. I have several filters set up already, but I never thought of filtering things like newsletters. I’ll make a noble attempt at getting my inbox cleaned out – and unsubscribe from those darn lists that I don’t read.

A word of advice: unless you are expecting some very important news, try to avoid reading your email when starting the day. It is a simple productivity tip which which can and will make a huge difference in the long run.

Ok… I will:
- Finally get around to installing Thunderbird on my system instead of cursing the Mac Mail client weekly.
- Do my 10 minute procrastination task of boxing up returns and books to loan people
- Stop all house work and website work after 11PM so I go to bed at a decent hour.

If I don’t I will give up chocolate for a week. (This is really big for me. )

Here’s my weekly organizing post where I talk about the procrastination task… and my attempts to get more sleep.
