Quick Question

[bertine]

How many emails do you have in your email inbox RIGHT NOW?

I have 21 in my work inbox and 17 in my personal inbox.


I just don't get people that sit with thousands of emails in their inbox. How do you remember what you need to do?

I use gmail, I have 11,920 emails. I don't delete anything except real junk. I sometimes get large work related attachments from one person, so every so often, like once a year I search that person name and delete most of the stuff. My work email is also a gmail and I get perhaps 4 emails a week at that address.

My job is simple enough that I can remember most of what I need to do, or I tape notes to the side of my monitor.
