The Art of Inbox Prioritization
Clutter is stressful and distracting. Our minds tend to be overloaded and we then get easily distracted. It, of course, hinders productivity. Messy desks and a full email inbox have the same effect.
Here are the steps to Marie Kondo Your Inbox:
- Commit to the Task
- Declutter your Inbox
- Get Rid of Junk or Spam Emails (it helps to unsubscribe)
- Organize and Label your Emails
- If it Sparks Joy, turn on email alerts. If not, turn it off.
A well-organized inbox improves productivity and reduces your stress levels.
Oh and by the way, if you are using Gmail, take advantage of their Gmail Priority Inbox.
