What’s a bankrupt inbox?

Well, since I am now 12 hours off from most of the continental US there is virtually no chance for me to catch up on emails as speedily as I used to. Waking up every morning with over 100 unread messages has gotten just too overwhelming. My current Gmail inbox is sitting at 1722 unread messages.

How am I going to do it?

I’m going to take every message outside of the 100 most recent and just archive them. If i haven’t gotten to them by now, I probably wont.

Next, I’ll go through the 100 remaining emails and either respond, delete, archive, or take some other kind of action. No skipping around.

After that, whenever an email comes in that doesn’t require immediate action, it doesn’t need to hit my inbox. I’ll continue to refine my filters etc.

The most dangerous part of trying to keep growing in ventures online? Getting bogged down and flooded.

Low Signal to Noise means Low ROI…

Anyone have any insight to add or guides they know of about declaring bankruptcy on your inbox?
