some times it scares me how closely people on the internet’s experiences reflect my own. Everyone can’t be having such a bad time… right?
Have you thought about declaring email bankruptcy? Then, stick to inbox zero. See https://fullfocus.co/email-bankruptcy/
You know it’s time for email bankruptcy when:
- You have more than five hundred unread email messages in your inbox.
About that...
Point 6: Don’t worry about your unread messages. If a message is important, someone will ask you about it. If it wasn’t, you won’t.
I've done this plenty of times. Get back from holiday and I just mark everything as read. If something was important they'll email again. I've told people and they thought I was crazy but it's never not worked.
Ain't no way a 2 week old unanswered email is still relevant today.
Right, if something is that important then you'll give me a call to follow up. Or at least another email. With the amount of spam these days, you can't hold an unreturned email against someone, there's just too much trash getting in the way
Everyone is having a bad time, in different ways. It's easy to notice things you personally relate to, and equally easy to overlook the many, many things that don't resonate with you.
