Just hit 12,000 unread emails and I'm honestly relieved
I finally looked at my Gmail after ignoring it for like 9 months, and it's at 12,347 unread. I thought I'd freak out but instead I felt free because it's too much to fix now, so I just archive everything older than last week. Have any of you just given up on inbox zero and started fresh with a filter system?
Used to be the person who HAD to keep it at zero, deleting and sorting every night like it was a job. Then I went on a two week trip with no service and came back to 400 emails, and somewhere in there I just stopped caring. Now I let anything older than a month pile up and dump it, and honestly nothing bad has happened. Missed a coupon or two maybe, but that's it.
