Tame Your Inbox

Your email is a place for dealing with current work. Create folders, ideally no more than ten, to allow you to start organizing emails by category and the project they’re related to.

If you have thousands of uncategorized emails in your inbox, put them all into an archive folder. When you get a new email, either delete it or categorize it into a folder.

It takes around 26 minutes to return to the level of concentration preceding an interruption. Turn off all the obtrusive notifications and set aside blocks of time, at the beginning and end of the workday, to deal with email in a focused manner.
