This month we’re tackling Digital Clutter! Is email eating up space in your brain and your day? It might be time to tighten up your system.

Each day I purge my inbox with focus, sometimes all the way down to Inbox Zero!

What You Need

• a filtering system. Use filters to automatically drop certain types of emails in certain folders. I’m doing this right now to keep all of Sarah’s Romance Yourself email gems in one place!
• a to do list. As Leo Babauta points out, your inbox does not make an effective to do list. Don’t let emails sit around because they’re reminding you to do something – put this reminder somewhere else!
• a calendar. A lot of emails have to do with scheduling. Have the tools to write down events immediately.
• a cup of tea. [optional, but super effective].
