Zero Inbox Day 2024
 |
Most of it is due to various subscriptions I have others are personal, questions, and aspects of business. I never let the inbox get out of hand. I go through the receipts and place them in their appropriate folder as a matter of daily work. I can't see keeping a couple thousand of these so quite a few make it to the 'bit bucket' never again to see the light of day.
Today is Zero Inbox Day.
It is held each October 6 since 2020 under the auspices of an applications developer who calls himself Superhuman to provide a vehicle to promote inbox management for the common man. Seeing how my sorting is ongoing and a daily occurrence I never let there become an email problem as it were.
I have no qualms with deleting anything that comes to the inbox and I have never considered any email to be an "emergency" even though I get a few from time to time claiming this designation.
I think there is a lot to be said for productivity. I just think a day like this is a miscarriage of everything mindful and significant to my existence.
This day is for the huddled skill-less masses of those with too little to do and less with which to work.
There is always time to do the right thing. If this is right for you I think you should go for it.
I figure I get about as much email as anyone. If you, like me, consider Zero Inbox Day some lamer gimmick and therefore a waste of time you may simply ignore all the hubub.
Happy Zero Inbox Day to all you Superhuman types out there !
