Email Archiving: The Inbox Zero Secret Most People Ignore

Email archiving is a seriously underrated feature. And I know most people don’t use it.

It’s helpful to think of your inbox as a to-do list: everything in there needs your attention. Anything you’ve already read and don’t need to act on? Just archive it. It doesn’t disappear or get deleted — it simply moves to your email archive. And every now and then, your inbox becomes empty. That feeling is chef’s kiss.

If you’ve got tens of thousands of emails sitting in your inbox, you can always start fresh and archive everything at once.

Once your inbox is clean, you suddenly notice how much junk you’re subscribed to. Time to hit unsubscribe on all of it.
