HOW TO KEEP YOUR INBOX AT ZERO (Even if you email yourself tasks like I do!) Stressed by the ever-growing “to do’s” crowding your email? Here’s how to keep emailing yourself tasks AND have a clean inbox… 👇 💻 1. Identify types of emails you send to yourself & get from others (tasks, ideas, emails to reply to, things you want to do today, receipts) 📩 2. Turn each category into a specific email alias like… To dos/Tasks = tasks@yourcompany.com Ideas = ideas@yourcompany.com Emails to reply = toreply@yourcompany.com Things to do today = today@yourcompany.com Receipts = receipts@yourcompany.com, etc. (FYI, an alias is a dummy address that when sent, goes to your main email!) 📂 3. For each alias, set up filters in your email system (Google, Outlook, etc.) so that emails sent to it get sorted to a specific folder (or label), get marked as read, and skip your inbox. 📬 4. Now… when you email yourself a task - it’ll go neatly into your “Tasks” folder and keep your inbox tidy! Same with sending receipts, banking ideas, tagging emails for reply, and more. Voila! 🙌 This A-HA system has kept me at Inbox Zero for the last 4+ MONTHS! And I didn’t realize how anxious it was making me to be staring at my To Do list in my inbox constantly. Now that it’s out of sight, but saved, I have so much more peace. Yep, I’m still a monster about emailing myself tasks, BUT now my systems plays to how my brain works and lets me enjoy the peace of a clean inbox. • What do you think?  • Will you try this, or your own spin?  • Or what's your favorite way to keep from drowning in emails!? ________ Hey - I’m Annie.
