Check and process your inboxes once a day.Instead, become the master of your inboxes. This will create a huge backlog of stuff for you to go through, and it will definitely stress you out. This stage will sound familiar to my long-time readers, but it should be covered here: Don’t allow your inboxes to overflow. Read a lot of blogs? Put them all into a feedreader, in a single stream of posts, instead of having to check 25 different inboxes. At work, have one inbox for all incoming paperwork. Get different voicemails? Try forwarding them to one service, or use an internet service to deliver them to your email inbox. Have four email services? See if you can forward them all to one service. For example, how many places in your home do incoming papers get placed? Have one inbox at home for all mail, papers from work, school papers, phone notes, computer printouts, schedules, and more. For all the rest, see if you can combine multiple information streams into one inbox. See if you can go a week without missing it. If something’s not giving you value, consider eliminating it from your life.
