Empty inbox - how to achieve it #
Summer is coming - vacation season - everyone dreams of not logging in to all their company email accounts. However, nightmares haunt you at night that the nightmare will repeat itself after the vacation.
Some time ago, I had a similar experience where my mailbox and the IT department mailbox were bursting at the seams. I had a lot of different categories, filters, stars, etc., and still lost emails, wasted time looking through past emails, and constantly asked myself, “What else did I have to do?”
And by pure coincidence, I came across HRejterzy.
(Some may know them for making fun of everything, but this episode is simply a wonderful guide in its simplicity, with a wealth of knowledge based on experience.)
It’s worth watching this movie - even while skipping through it - trying to catch - if any of these ideas fit me, or if I could work like this, or if it would relieve the deluge of emails and tasks that reach me.
An important element of this process shown in the movie is having a different place than email to organize “long-term” things for yourself.
The movie proposes Asana, the “basic” version of which is sufficient for everyone. I use OpenProject as a container.
Equally good for this type of thing is a notebook (some “moleskine” or similar), and I recommend taking a look at this way of keeping a notebook.
