Quick Question

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'm not sure how many I have in my work email. I think it's probably between 300-500. I will normally keep anything that I need to go back to marked as "unread" even if I've read it to go back to it later. They will slowly get sorted by attachment (then by attachment type) and by who it's received from and topic (depending on importance). After it's been in there about a month, I dump everything into another folder.

Oddly enough, having a new empty inbox makes me feel off balance, since I've been doing this for so long.
