The Inbox Zero Warrior - The 7 Types of Email Users

The Inbox Zero Warrior - needs an empty inbox

Nothing is more important to these warriors than ending the day with zero items in their inbox.

A noble intention to have - so long as you have a system in place to capture those emails that require action beyond today.

If you are The Inbox Zero Warrior:

In your hastiness to file away/delete those pesky space-taking emails out of your inbox (and out of sight) do you sometimes forget to take the action that’s required?

How do you follow someone up when the email to trigger that is gone?

A squillion reminders in your calendar creates its own problems (like constant snoozing of the pop-up reminder window).

Removing emails from your inbox that have been actioned is a brilliant practice but I’d encourage you to explore your process for those emails that require a bit more time to complete, after all missing emails causes lots of stress and can be the reason customers go elsewhere.
