Why Your Inbox Feels Heavy (And How to Make It Light Again)
The weight of an unread inbox is real. Here is the gentle, no-shame method I use to bring clients to inbox zero — and keep them there.
An inbox is rarely just an inbox. It is a list of decisions you have postponed, conversations you owe, and small fears wearing professional hats.
The first step is permission. Permission to archive emails older than 30 days that you have not opened. Permission to send the short reply. Permission to use templates and not feel guilty.
Next, we triage. Three folders: Reply Today, Reply This Week, Read Later. Anything that does not fit gets archived. You will be shocked how light you feel by lunchtime.
