Inbox zero, baby

30 December 2009

As I mentioned in my blog post called email liberation, I embarked in 2009 on a goal of having fewer than 15 messages left in my email inbox at the end of each work day. It’s worked out very well.

On Monday, I managed to get my inbox down to zero messages. And it feels so good.

The trick was to actually make some decisions and take action on a few of the lingering messages. A day and a half later and I’m still at zero. Now, I realize it’s a slow holiday week and I’ve been at my desk most of the time, so it’s been easy to keep on top of. But now that I’m here, I hope I can stay here for awhile.
