![]() Because even if you have what you think is a fool-proof system, mentally, that feeling of incompleteness, of missing something, of leaving people waiting, will still nag at you. I’ve talked to several people I work with about why they leave so many messages unread, lingering in their inboxes, and I got some very reasonable, logical answers: “It reminds me to answer them,” “I use them as my to-do list for the day,” “I keep them unopened if I know I want to read them at some point but don’t have time now,” “It’s easier to find them,” “It’s spam, I don’t have to read that.”īut I also asked them if they’d feel better if they didn’t have any leftover emails, or if it stressed them out to see such a high number of notifications next to their inbox, and most of them said yes to both. That’s when you’ve not only opened, deleted, and answered every email, but you’ve removed it from your inbox in some form or another. I actually save myself a lot of hassle and anxiety by consistently deleting notifications and reaching inbox zero. You might think because of this I spend every second of my day with my nose in my phone, but I don’t.
