It’s incredible, I have my inbox under 10. My general rule was that if it reached 100 then I needed a clear out but over Chrismukka I decided to really get on top of my emails and stop keeping emails that I should deal with but in actual fact never were so I might as well just delete or archive them and I managed to get it down to a dozen or so. Now I have achieved the holy grail, I have it under 10! Well actually I guess the holy grail would be to have an empty inbox but then that’s never going to happen as there is always going to be some stuff I need in there.
I only have two unread emails too which is good for me. I normally have around 25%-30% unread but you have to realise that when I have an unread email, I have read it. I read all my emails as they come in or just know what most of them are about anyway, I just mark emails as unread as ones that I need to deal with in the near future. Not that I don’t need to deal with my others but a lot of those are their for info whereas anything that needs a response or for me to update a website or something I keep as unread to highlight them.
BTW I just did a count and I made 42 posts in December. That’s back to the Nerd Fed glory days level. August 2004 I hit 45 posts although I don’t know if all of those were mine.
Don't have time to check my blog? Get a weekly email with all the new posts. This is my personal blog, so obviously it is 100% spam free.
