Our email inbox was modelled on an actual mailbox. But since it was digital people started using it in all the wrong ways. Why? Because it was less pricy, could contain a lot more and could be used as fast as possible. That is why we all tend to abuse it and end up being totally overwhelmed. In an analog world no one would send you over little ideas and things to discuss, inspirations, junk and all that stuff on you mailbox. So take a look at the things that do not belong in your mailbox but still land there anyway.

3. things to read
Your inbox is a place where you should manage
the incoming stream of messages, reference
material, tasks and so on. Do not read longer
reference material in it. Move it to the place
where it belongs: Instapaper, Pocket or other
app of your choice.

4. things to do
Your inbox is full of things that can be turned
into actionable tasks and projects. Just know
the difference. To organise a party is a project.
To send out invites is a task. Turn email into
tasks with one app of your choice.

6. things to dream of
In a GTD method you can turn some artefacts into
“maybe someday” material. If something is an
inspiration, don’t just leave it there. Make a folder for
your dreams and put them there.

7. things to trash
If none of the before mentioned rules applies, it’s
probably a sign that your mail should be trashed or (if
you are scared of the definitive solutions) archived.
Either way do not leave it in your inbox. It does not
belong there!
