Discussion on: What is your best way to manage emails?

Last July I had 13000 unread emails. So I just declared email bankruptcy and decided to manage emails better like this:

  • Now I archive all read emails
  • Unsubscribed from all useless promos and newsletters
  • Use labels and colour code them.
  • Create filters that will automatically label new emails based on the sender/content/etc. Really helps with shopping/transaction receipts.

Since doing this I've managed to keep my inbox smaller than 10 emails or so for the last 9 months!

Wow 13000! That would’ve cause me so much anxiety 😅 Good job reducing it down!

I declare bankrupcy regularily at least a few times of year.

My email credit is terrible.
