Inbox Zero Sprint
Run a focused 20-minute email triage sprint that processes every message with a clear decision rule. Set your sprint length, open your inbox, and decide on every email — no re-reading, no stalling.
Set up your sprint
Count everything in your main inbox — unread and read. We'll track it down live.
The Rules of the Sprint
- One touch, one decision. Open an email, pick a button, move on. Never re-read a message in the same sprint.
- Reply only if it's under 2 minutes. Anything longer gets filed as a task or snoozed — never answered mid-sprint.
- Unsubscribe aggressively. If you haven't opened the last few emails from a sender, hit Unsubscribe.
- Delete noise without guilt. Notifications, promos, and FYIs nobody needs go straight to trash.
- Skip sparingly. If you skip three in a row, you're avoiding a decision. Decide.
- Stay in this tab until the timer ends. No other apps, no new tabs.
