I've been using Inbox Zero for more than 7 years and it changed the way I worked. I now do Inbox Zero both in my professional email and personal email. It's incredible how much more productive you become. One thing I'd say about the question related to how to deal with lots of emails when you're back from vacation, I'd start from the most recent emails. Those emails are usually more "recent" and you have a bigger chance of your response being relevant. Looking at an email from two weeks ago, more likely than not was already handled by somebody else, or the sender already is waiting - so waiting one or two more days won't be the end of the day. So, dealing with the most recent emails is my preference.

Inbox Zero - a welcome idea for dealing with the flood of "stuff" that comes at us every day. I am trying out adopting this at work, and plan to extend whatever is working for me to my personal email (and probably other "inboxes" in my life).

The challenge with GTD (getting things done) and time management is that it is a process. This is a nice video to remind you of how to manage the process for email. A useful reminder of the obvious with a very healthy dose of ninja focus and getting clear with some simple approaches I am willing to try.

Some of this is mildly dated, but with mailbox (an iPhone app) it can change your email life forever. You can follow this system perfectly and helps you get from inbox zero in a few minutes.

Not sure about GTD, but I practice Inbox Zero for two years now. My inbox is clean, and now you need to re-apply the same principle for your task management software.

Great video. I don't have enough time to watch this whole video (which is about 'saving time) and I was worried about this video being too long. Note that the actual lecture is only about 30 minutes, with the last 30 minutes being dedicated to a Q&A session (where geeks talk about their getting-things-done strategies).

Why is the sound quality always so wanting, especially in those videos that feature someone talking to (the viewer as) an audience! Its almost insufferable trying to follow what actually is being told, especially on portable devices.

If time you have is finite and precious, then why is this video and his presentation so damn long???

@BillCampbell 9 жыл бұрын

You only need to watch the first 30 minutes to get the ideas as the second half is a question and answer session. If you are really short on time, click the the settings wheel and watch it at 1.25 or 1.5 speed. :-) Also, the presentation slides are at www.slideshare.net/merlinmann/inbox-zero-actionbased-email

I do Zero-Inbox since several months and I helps to avoid stress and helps you to focus at one moment on one topic. I am disappointed because I could not find a way to find a feature like gmail "snooze" for IMAP. I don't want much, I just want to move mails to a "do later" folder for N days. After N days the mail should get into my inbox again. If you know a solution, please write an answer here: softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/35035/inbox-zero-for-imap This is called "defer" in this video

Thomas Güttler Thats verry intresting input for me.I work on a Email Client which will just do that.If you interrested send me a message via youtube.

@thomasguttler5179 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, I am interessted in an email client (IMAP) which does help to get to Zero-Inbox.Some days ago I wrote a small script which creates several folder in IMAP an does resubmission, but I don't use it today. There were too many folders and there was integration to email clients. github.com/guettli/ndayslater I am curious how you want to solve this. Do you want to write an email client from scratch? That's a lot of work. Why not take an open source email client as base. There are thunderbird, k9 for android and some web mail user agents. You can reach me via guettliml@thomas-guettler.de too.
