Additional tips:

* I use mailboxapp to send newsletter type emails to “Later Today”. I’ll read those on the eve commute.
* I fwd emails to evernote that I need to organize and store as reference.
* I’ve uncoupled personal and work email, focusing only on work email during most days and sifting through personal email every few days.

Email will own you unless you own it. To own your email you must avoid doing it all the time. To do that you need to schedule the time to do your email. It is absolutely a must. In fact it is so important that I wrote a whole entire blog post just about managing your email. Go read Inbox 0. […]

I also use Boomerang for Gmail, which allows you to mark things to re-surface at some point you determine in the future.

This is definitely a way I want to start approaching emails. I’m a student so I don’t get nearly as many as you do (maybe 20-30 a day, total) but it’s still a mental drain. Over the past year I’ve done two things that I think have helped: 1) switched to Mailbox. It’s designed to help users approach email like a to do list with a goal of inbox 0. 2) actually unsubscribing from annoying lists before I delete them. It takes some time but it’s a good habit I’ve built.

Thanks for this breakdown of your daily email system- super helpful!
