Is Your Inbox at Zero by the End of the Day?

If you want to be more productive, try to get your inbox to zero by the end of the day. You can achieve this goal by creating folders under the inbox. Label the folders with titles that make sense to you. Some of the titles I use are: Business, Personal, Finances, Patch.com, organizations I belong to, Newsletter, etc. When I look over my inbox messages, I take action on the ones that can be dealt with in under two minutes and then delete them. The others are put into the folders named above. It really feels good to see an empty inbox.
