The “Everything BUT My Stupid Inbox” Hack
Maybe someday some email program will let me set a “Home” mailbox that’s not my goddamned Inbox.
Assuming I want to see unprocessed messages every time I do anything with email is like making me trudge out to my home mailbox every time I take a leak, turn on the oven, fold a towel, or do any of the 500,000 other things I can easily accomplish without asking for new information.
Ludicrous.
Seriously. It’s hard to overstate how little I want to see my Inbox throughout the day. And frankly I’m gobsmacked at the lengths I have to go to in order to instill such a simple and categorically wholesome pattern.
Get with it, guys.
