Early 2016 I was on a blogging streak. For 100 days straight, I shared my tips around #GTD, #InboxZero, #RSS, #PKM, and various tools and methods I used to manage my work life.
I think it’s time to revisit those topics, and make the 2023 edition. But this time in English, not in Swedish.
5:06 pm, day 1 back after 2 weeks of sick leave and I’m at #inboxzero
I credit (in reverse order of importance):
• working 14 hour days the week before I went out on leave to wrap up everything I could 🙃
• my detailed coverage memo: it’s a living document that I constantly update with all important bits about my job 📑
• my incredible colleagues on the legal team who covered my urgent tasks 🫂
• the fact that no one is indispensable and the business will go on without you 📈
Starting a new productivity mission today: going to try to start being an 'Inbox Zero' person. (The screenshot is misleading; doesn't show the 255 read emails in the inbox, the oldest dating back to August 2014, which are all things I'm have some intention to act on 'soon' 😰. )

"Inbox Zero" - a theoretical state of which, much like the universe's `t=0`, nothing is known and nothing can be known.
#email #Inbox #inboxzero #Curse #communications #todo
It'd been over a month since I've been #inboxzero across all inboxes.
Between last night and this morning , I got through the in-depth articles that had been sitting there waiting for me to have the time and mental capacity to comprehend and appreciate what I was reading.
I can not rationally explain the emotional sense of calm being zeroed out gives me but it's there.
Irony: It’s impossible to keep your Inbox at Zero while you’re on Holiday because you are on Holiday even though technically, shouldn’t you *not* get email when you are on Holiday?

As an #InboxZero , #GTD , and #productivity nerd, I recognize that my obsessive behavior with productivity is somewhat toxic.
The following article is a bit of a wakeup call, and I think I need to take a hard look at my systems (process, tools, and "people") and figure out what they are actually enabling and if thats aligned to where I should be playing (according to this article).

@maltekir @Thorti1003 ein Leben ohne #InboxZero ist möglich aber sinnlos. :)
@Thorti1003 Die 36.000 sind ungelesene Items in der RSS-Reader-App. 😀 Ach, es gibt deutlich wichtigeres im Leben als #InboxZero - viele und vieles verdient auch gar keine Aufmerksamkeit. :-)
@greg Yes, it was not a great feeling for me as well. I kept working from the bottom (newest) upward to process at least the recent and urgent ones.
I should follow my #inboxzero mantra from my email for the captured stuff as well once I'm down to zero here.
And then get rid of lots of old paper in my office I'm probably not going to scan any more.
I have published my productivity system (2023) using Twos App.
I use a combination of Carl Pullein, Leo Babauta and Tiago Forte approaches to manage the complexity of my personal, family and work life.

Shifted my schedule around so that I could finish up my workday after everybody else left and my email wasn't ACTIVELY piling up.
My inbox processing speed for the last 126 minutes was roughly 1.07 threads/minute, and got me 135 emails closer to inbox zero.
Everything got converted into a JIRA task, reference entry or todo item if required. I'm feeling pretty good about that progress.
Current inbox size: 353.

I'm at #InboxZero and #Workday zero for the first time in months. Please clap.
@tagesschau keine Ahnung was das Thema ist aber wenn du 2830 UNGELESENE E-MAILS hast dann ist jede andere Plattform dein geringstes Problem. #inboxZero
Kaum jemand weiss, dass Herkules an seiner dreizehnten und letzten Aufgabe kläglich scheiterte: #InboxZero.
Käykö sinulla ikinä niin, että piti tarkistaa jokin juttu esim. muistiinpanoista tai sähköpostista ja sitten kun avaat appin, et enää muista mikä asia oli mikä piti tarkistaa?
Minulla kävi nyt näin. Ei ilmeisesti mitään tärkeää, koska ei haittaa liikaa ja #TodoZero + #InboxZero.
Declaring tab bankruptcy. There were a ton of useful tabs in there! But my browser kept crashing. It couldn't handle it. This time, I'm not restoring session.
Time to let all those active and useful tabs go. Start anew.
If only inboxes crashed occasionally (I should be careful what I wish for!)
