The average person receives 56.4 emails every day, so it is no wonder we struggle to keep on top of them. But are all the emails useful?

    What I do:

    • Rarely give out my email (I use aliases everywhere)
    • Don't attempt to sort incoming email (it's a fool's errand)
    • Email search is my friend

    The result is a cluttered inbox, sure, and that's not "minimal". But it does minimize the impact on my psychology. I don't need another chore, and email sorting is an infinite chore.

      Doing triaging to different folders isn’t foolish since it becomes easier to clear out entire folders. Going thru & deleting things isn’t odd either since storage isn’t free.
