Whoo hoo, inbox zero* achieved!
*Zero recent emails–the 10 or so that are always there are still there
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci hehe, I leave 5-10 messages for what I’m working this or next week, but if I have more that 4 weeks w/o doing anything with it, it has to be archived.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I don’t even delete them, I just set a filter to include emails within the 24 hours I received them with the exception of a special label called like “Open activity” then, once in a while I just obliterate everything older than a few days. 🔥
To me it gives a greater feeling seeing the email count crumble with one hit. 💪😎
@justamoment@twtxt.net interesting, what email client/service you use?
@eaplmx@twtxt.net right now I’m using the Gmail web client, but I used Thunderbird before work the same logic.
Other than that, I also set lot of rules to apply specific labels to almost everything, since I manage more emails together, with another special label to filter what I really care about to be included in the main filters.
With the Gmail’s custom filter view I have other filters for showing in this order:
- Received in 24 hours and “Open projects” with priority
- All “Open projects”
- Only unread
- Unfiltered emails from anywhere
