How I organize my inbox.

Today we're tackling the bane of every adult's work life: the terrible, no good cluttered inbox! Staring at a mountain of emails can be overwhelming for anyone. Not to mention, inbox disorganization can bottleneck your productivity, cause you to miss important messages and interrupt vital communication — all of which is definitely no bueno.

This problem inspired me to share a sorting hack I use to easily filter emails into folders, prioritize responses and take action.


In this video, I'll walk you through my system which separates all incoming messages into three simple categories. I'll be using Apple Mail (the default email program for Mac), but this system can easily be implemented on other email clients as well.
