Email is still the core mode of communication in our work and personal life for many of us. When I started with my career, dealing with email is not an issue since I did not get that many emails. However, they started coming in more and more, and I started wearing different hats in my life.

At one point, I started missing important tasks and forget details that I should have remembered. Our brain is terrible at keeping and organizing a lot of information. That is why many great productivity systems like GTD or Zettlekasten rely on capturing and organizing information off our brains.

Inbox Zero

That was when I stumbled on the concept of Inbox Zero. Managing a zero inbox is certainly much easier than a multi-thousand one. The core concept is that you strive to reduce your inboxes to zero every day or every week. When you get to zero, you are done for the day/week and will have all your emails organized.

Here are some steps that you can take to get you out of the email hell, hopefully.

1. Clear out your inbox
