#email

Achieve and maintain inbox zero. System: 1. Process emails in batches (2-3x daily, not constantly). 2. For each email: Delete (not relevant), Delegate (forward), Respond (if <2 min), Defer (add to task list), Archive. 3. Use folders/labels sparingly (search is powerful). 4. Unsubscribe aggressively. 5. Use filters/rules for automation. 6. Templates for common responses. 7. Turn off notifications. Goal: inbox as to-do list, not storage. Archive everything processed. Use 'Two-Minute Rule'. Tools: Gmail filters, Superhuman, SaneBox. Reduces stress and decision fatigue.
