"Inbox zero" is the elusive goal of having responded to all your emails. I currently have 264 unactioned emails (this includes Slack messages). My goal for today is to finally take action on all of them. Some of them have been lingering for months. Action means responding to them. Some emails may involve long tasks which I may move to my task manager instead of doing, but I will not be snoozing any emails.
I've only achieved inbox zero once before this year and I don't think I've ever been able to do it in one day, but I've also never focused an entire day on it before. Will this goal be done?
Deadline is 11:59:59 tonight, Central European Summer Time (GMT+2). I will not bet on this, but I'm curious to see if I find this market to be motivational.
@PeterWildeford so, how was it? Did you get to an inbox zero? In any case, pretty nice to get close anyway
@firstuserhere @PeterWildeford is quickly trying to get them all done but got immersed in the replying that he forgot the deadline is over
@firstuserhere Yeah I got the closest to inbox zero I've been in two months so that was still really good. I went out to dinner though and didn't realize I'd be out so long >.<
@firstuserhere I think it was a 3/10 for motivation. Maybe if I tried it on a day where I had more flexibility to choose how to allocate my time it would've been better.
@jskf no
@PeterWildeford Are you leaving difficult ones for last, or doing them randomly / in an order?
