I am back to trying to achieve Inbox Zero on a Gmail account. Last week it was 96% full.

I have done lots of work deleting and archiving emails. It is now 94% full.

I will continue to work on it.

I have spent the last few days trying to get on top of the inbox of multiple email accounts. It is a herculean effort. After deleting and archiving thousands of emails I am still nowhere near inbox zero.

This is the price I am paying for over 15 years of lazy email admin.

I am trying to reform my slovenly ways.

Which is your vibe?

mais mais mais, #InboxZero or what ? :-)

Returned to work today and have spent the first four hours dealing with emails. Don't pity me, inbox zero is ON! Just a few more to go.

#InboxZero. Yeah, it’s going great.

Pre-trip goals. Don’t get any ideas! #InboxZero https://some.pics/688a205c969de

La reprise après les vacances, ce n’est plus ce que c’était : la boîte mail est vide à la fin du premier jour… #inboxzero

#InboxZero

Svuotare dei nuovi messaggi la posta in arrivo il venerdì pomeriggio dopo aver passato mezza giornata fuori è un'impresa non da poco

I have a four-hour train journey ahead of me. The internet connection is stable, and the screen protector is attached to my MacBook display. I wonder how many of the 89 emails in my inbox I'll be able to get through. Any guesses? #InboxZero

I opened my GMail, the one I basically use for ... nothing.

It's nothing but Lyft begging me to use their service, which I don't. Looking at all the discounts, it's like they'd be paying *me* to go places.

And shit from Google, "You logged in from a new IP."

#InBoxZero Achieved

It's time to come clean. I'm an #inboxZero kinda guy. That little red badge w a number on it. Offensive. Viscerally. I don't even like knowing it's possible for anyone to walk around w 14k unread msgs like it's normal.

That's not communication. It's digital hoarding. It's stress in icon form. The only thing that triggers me anymore isn't politics, horror, or existential dread. It's watching someone swipe past a 4 digit unread count like it's fine. It's not. It's entropy w a subject line.

aaaaaaand it's 3:15 in the morning.

but i'm done. #inboxzero

In support of my ongoing goal to achieve #InboxZero whenever possible, today I am hitting that handy “unsubscribe" button on any unsolicited emails that appear in my Inbox.

I do this about once a year.

It works!

#QUIK SMS is kinda perfect now, but there's one leeeeeeetle feature I do occasionally miss from the proprietary SMS program I was using:

It did a best-effort attempt to interpret those idiotic "Liked 'I am the very model of a modern major general...'" messages you get from iPhones and would just stick an emoji next to the associated message, rather than display the completely pointless message.

Of course, it couldn't do it for photos, only for text. And I'm guessing if there was more than one message in the chat that had almost the same text (such that the quoted part would be non-unique), it probably would've failed there, too.

So, minor sad on that one, but QUIK is actually better in a lot of ways, such as its ability to archive/hide messages (conversation) you're done with without deleting them.

That of course means that I could theoretically practice #InboxZero with my text messages.

Someday, guys. Someday. XD
