How many emails are in your inbox right now?
25? 100? 1000? (Yes, I do know someone with over 1000 emails in their inbox, yipes!)
If you have more than 50 emails in your inbox right now that is too many… in fact even less than 50 is ideal.
Working virtually as so many of us do, our inboxes literally become our offices. So when our inboxes get out of control it is the equivalent of walking into an office covered in paper, folders, books, sticky notes… and hey, is that my lunch from last week in the corner?
Seems a silly topic in some ways (clean up my inbox? yawn…) but really, if you feel at all overwhelmed by ‘what to do first?’ when you open up your email it is time to do something about it. An inbox out of control can be a real drag on your motiviation (and hence your bottom line).
Cleaning up the flow of your inbox can help improve the flow of your business.

Go go go!
I started with 120 emails in my Inbox. I already had folders set up but not enough! I now have 13 emails in my Inbox and it feels so freeing. 120 was way over my comfort level. I can now see white space in the window.
Thanks for sharing how you handle your emails Tina – I wish someone had told me this ages ago – it’s the main area of clutter in my life – well, it was. No longer!
I missed the deadline for the contest (was under the weather this week), but I wanted to post my results anyway…
I started with 244 and have 49 as of this moment – all flagged according to priority – YAHOO!
I think 20-30 will feel about right, but I’m pretty happy to know that I’ll leave for my summer vacation in two days having whittle this WAY down.
Thanks, as always, Tina, for your fabulous advice!!
cheers,
