The 3 Email Commandments

Commandment #1

Stop playing Tetris

Email is like Tetris. No matter how fast you are, there’s always more coming, and faster. An average person today

gets 110 emails/day.

By 2015 it will be 125/day (a 14% increase)

125 email/day

Since days in 2015 will still only be 24 hours long, something has to change, you.

You need to change the way you think about email, and the way you process it.

Commandment #2Don’t let email be your no.1

priority

Be proactive and focus on your own to-do list.

Email is your to-do list that other people can write on.

Scan your Inbox for urgent/important items in the morning, and then work on your top priorities.

Dedicate blocks of time to processing email, and treat email processing as one of your priorities

Not the default Priority #1!

If you’re ever sucked into “doing email”, ask yourself if clearing your Inbox really the best

use of time right now!

Eventually it will be - but make a conscious decision about it.

Commandment #3Not all emails are created

equal

Every email interface gives the same amount of real estate on the screen to each message.  

This tricks our subconscious into thinking every email is equally important.

But that’s wrong - some emails need to be dealt with right away (urgent/important). Some can wait (non-urgent/important). And others should be archived/deleted in bulk (unimportant).

According to our data the unimportant bucket contains, on average, 58% of

emails.

- SaneBox filters out the unimportant emails into the SaneLater folder so you can archive or delete them all at once.

- You can move the non-urgent/important emails into one of our Snooze folders
