Inbox Zero
habitsI’ve long loved the idea of “inbox zero” but once attained, I always slip further and further away from zero…
Until someone mentioned “Treat your inbox as a todo list that other people have control over”…and that did it. Framing it that way really clicked, for me, and urged me to tamp that particular todo list down.
Ever since, my personal, SCA and work email inboxes are zero. Everything is processed daily using a “Do, Delegate, Defer, Delete” decision tree.
Now I need to be better about not using my inbox as memos for myself… Obsidian is supposed to be my PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) repository, not email ticklers…
