4

I have 4 emails in my in-box which I use as a "to do" list that is too long to put into the Tasks section of Outlook.

I see, I read, I action, file, or delete.

You must

a) be either 4 or 98 years old, or
b) have upset to the point of excommunication everyone you've ever known, or
c) know something which nobody else does.

a) half way aged
b) interesting strategy, but sadly not one I've employed yet. thanks for the idea though!
c) working mum with high-level career and two school aged kids - I am ninja in efficiency and timing/planning. I don't get as much down time though as I would like.

Typically zero in my personal email by the end of every day. Usually I read and then either delete, reply or file it. I get about 20 or 30 personal emails per day, but I find it's reducing as I am more likely to use whatsapp for quick messages or a general catch up.
But generally speaking I am not a hoarder, more of an extreme email feng shui practitioner.

There's some online service, which is free for the first 10-15 which auto-unsubscribes you from loads of sites. It was magical and utterly wonderful when I launched it.

If I remember the name I'll tell you.
