When I was chatting with Michael Reynolds, owner of Spin Web, recently, we talked about Inbox Zero.   The concept of Inbox Zero is that it is a technique for managing your email instead of letting it manage you.

The goal of Inbox Zero is to clear your “inbox” every time you sit down to address email.  It sounds impossible, especially for someone like me who receives hundreds of emails, but it works.  At the core of Inbox Zero are four folders:

  • Action Required
  • Someday Maybe
  • Waiting For
  • Archive

Making the switch was difficult at first. As I used the system, I discover it is faster to find what I am looking for then it was when I had lots of folders.

Want to learn more about Inbox Zero?  Listen to today’s podcast, check out Michael’s blog, or even one of his seminars and you can become an email Ninja too!
