There are emails that I’ve saved unread because I WANT to read them, and then… don’t. I really do want to read them, but apparently, not enough to actually read them… yet. If I put them in a folder I will literally never read them. That being said, I keep unread well below 100. I used to be better about it when I sat at a desk. It’s easier to delete on a desktop. The mobile apps make everything harder in email, IMO.
I’ve turned off notifications on all the other apps, except LinkedIn, which may get turned off soon, my new Outlook account, and Gmail. Everything else is off so I don’t obsess about notification numbers.
Sometimes if I notice the overwhelm with too many to read and or delete I’ve selected ALL of the thousands of UNREAD emails and with one click just selected READ. Tick a box. All stressors removed. ✅
I’ve got too little time left to live without worrying about emails. Try just walking away.
So many people are surprised when they see my clean and organized inbox. I can’t function with too many emails clogging up everything, it gives me anxiety lol. I’m going to come back to work after 3 weeks off and I bet I’ll be inbox zero in less than an hour due to these great tips!

I mean, if the number of unread emails doesn’t bother you, then there’s no problem. They would bug the shit out of me 😂
