Summary
All of us have to battle with the struggle of dealing with a cluttered inbox, whether it be through Gmail or another email provider.
A writer for Make Tech Easier has published an article describing how they managed to clear 12,000 emails from their Gmail inbox to just zero, also providing tips for others looking to do the same.
The process involves opting out of mailing lists for newsletters and subscriptions that are no longer useful, using the “Unroll.Me” tool to speed up the process and searching for phrases such as “unsubscribe” or “newsletter” to bulk delete old emails.
The author also suggests using Gmail aliases to avoid future cluttered inboxes, saving important attachments to Google Drive , archiving emails that are necessary but not required to be kept in the inbox and arranging emails into labels for better organisation.
Lastly, the author has listed some habits to maintain inbox zero including unsubscribing to mailing lists straight away, using filters to automatically sort emails, picking specific times of the day to check emails and clearing the trash and spam folders.
